Nagano to Joetsu Destination Reviews
N
Nicolas At the end everything worked fine. But it took a long time to get to the tickets/confirmation from 12Go (several days instead of 14 hours). It would be better, when you would adjust the time. But support was very fast and I am happy that I got my tickets.
