Assessment
The JR Tobu Nikko Kinugawa Free Kippu is a good deal for those travelers wishing to access Nikko by the direct limited express train from Tokyo's Shinjuku Station, because the round trip by regular tickets alone costs about the same as the Free Kippu.
Alternative Tickets
Tobu Railways offers various free passes for access to Nikko from Tokyo's Asakusa Station. These passes are considerably cheaper than the JR Tobu Nikko Kinugawa Free Kippu, because they are valid on rapid trains rather than limited express trains.
