The light show is very beautiful. Dry ice is sprayed on the lake, and the lights change color all the time. With the music accompanying the shamisen, the whole thing is very fun.

amazing experience! 10/10 would recommend this tour to everyone. Vincent, our guide, was knowledgeable about the history and was able to answer all questions, all while having a positive and humorous attitude. Just great!

My son is an anime fan and he was super happy and delighted with the entire exhibition. Due to time constraints, we did not have the opportunity to use the costumes, but I think it is a great experience to walk around the studio village.

My son was super happy, he even made a drawing and put it on the mural they have at the entrance of the museum. Shopping with Klook is very practical and easy!

I hope you can add more itineraries so that it is really convenient to travel. I will consider hotel pick-up and drop-off next time. The weather is very cold these days. It is so comfortable to just get on the bus and sleep at a fixed point😌

There is no private changing space, but each service staff's service is super fast, super perfect😍, and also full of emotional value. Warm packs will be given to you even if the weather is cold. Don’t be afraid to ask for a warm pack, otherwise you will freeze to death.

I bought it on Klook for around 17,000 won! At first, I thought it was a little expensive, but it was decorated well and had a great feel. The garden is prettier than the main hall! If you don't have any plans at night, definitely go there once. Highly recommended!
