How does it work?
The Nikkō World Heritage Area Pass is valid for two days from the moment of its activation. This is to say that if you use it for the first time on Monday, it'll be valid for that day and Tuesday, regardless of the time of its first use.
At the same time, showing the card will also get you discounts on access to the Tobu World Square theme park and Edo Wonderland Nikkō Edomura, although this price reduction will vary from season to season.
Once your booking has been made, you'll receive an electronic code that you must present on the buses or attractions when being used for the first time. It's important to remember that on the day of the activity, you must have wifi access to be able to use the card.
