We decided to go to Kobe because of this aquarium. Buying tickets on klook is cheaper than on-site, and you can redeem it directly by showing the QR code.

We had a private room to ourselves. the food was very good and I definitely recommend. It was an 8 course meal. Meat can be a bit chewy but still flavorful. My husband was suprised that I got it booked via Klook. Location was not that hard to find and near the train station. We got to go shopping afterwards as it’s near shopping area.

We really enjoyed our experience with this tour. The bus left and arrived on schedule, and we were given ample time to explore the attractions. Kudos also to our tour guide Alvin for taking care of us during the trip. Will definitely recommend this tour to others who might be interested in visiting a ski resort!

Very close to the station, there are drugstores, supermarkets, and 100-yen stores downstairs for convenient shopping. There is also a 24-hour beef donburi shop!
