Japanese railway firm Odakyu Electric Railway Co, Ltd and Hong Kong-based travel solutions developer Klook Travel Technology Limited present a new way by which foreign travellers can buy tickets to some of the country’s most popular destinations.
Through this collaborative effort, foreign travellers can use their smartphones to purchase train tickets to places like Hakone via the Klook website.
The new service allows travellers who previously booked digital tickets on Klook's website to receive their digital tickets via Odakyu's EMot Online Tickets platform. By doing so, they do not need to get in line at on-site ticketing booths.
Launching with discounts
Currently, customers can purchase the two-day and three-day Digital Hakone Freepass on the site. However, both companies advised the public that a new line of limited digital express tickets will become available by March of next year.
In line with the start of the new service, a 20 percent discount campaign starts on 1st October for travellers who purchase the Digital Hakone Freepass from Mainland China, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan via the Klook online site.
Note, however, that the discount campaign ends when the stipulated number of discounted tickets sells out.
