Well the ride is excellent, but the fact that in 2026 you don't offer a trully digital ticket seems bad to me. We opted to but the tickets online thinking we would skip the crazy line for the ticket but then you had to redeem the "e-ticket" in another line!

Quick and intuitive service, we saved a ton of queue time at the airport and in less than half an hour we were at Ueno Park. From there, direct trains go to all neighborhoods, so it's great for getting to Tokyo.

It was really easy to make the reservation. The price is competitive and I appreciated the offered Subway pass. The app is easy to use. It was easy to obtain the tickets with the voutcher.

I missed the connection in Nappori. Quite tricky actually to understand where to change. And since there are only 2 trains per hour, I had to find another way of transportation

It was easy to redeem my voucher and pick up my ticket right outside the airport at the designated counter. I got to my hotel very comfortably and quickly. It was my first time using this service, but I'll definitely use it again.

It was pretty easy. Booked both my ticket to my hotel from the airport and my return ticket. Went to the counter, presented my qr code and and I was given my ticket. Would use again.
