Frequently asked questions

Should I buy tickets on the official site or through a reseller?

Both can work. Compare the final price, the cancellation and change rules, how the ticket is delivered and whose name must be on it. Whichever seller you use, entry is subject to the venue’s own rules.

How far ahead should I book timed attractions in Japan?

Book as soon as your date is fixed for popular dates such as weekends, holidays and sunset slots. Each guide in this hub explains how that venue releases and limits tickets.
