It was the best. As expected, the guide's ability is the quality of the product. He worked hard and tried to teach us a lot without stopping, so I learned a lot. I recommend it. I hope you use this product. And I support you.

It takes about 20-30 minutes by bus from Hakata Station. It is very close to the seaside. It takes about 3-5 minutes to get off at the bus stop. It takes about an hour to take pictures slowly. One side of the elevator is transparent. If there are many people, you may need to queue.

I had a lot of fun looking around. It would be more romantic if you come at night, but it was pretty enough to see during the day! You can buy it at a cheaper price than on-site, and you can buy it on the same day, so it was easy to go!

I didn't expect to climb such a high building at first. I just thought of it as a way to do some exercise. You can also climb up to see the night view of Fugang City. The lighting effects along the way are beautiful, and it's a great place to check in with your family and children.

The wagyu beef is very good. You can eat all you want for just over 300 yuan. In addition, the Nikulab salad in the restaurant is also very delicious. We called back three times. The QR code ordering system has Chinese display which is also very convenient.

You need to download the app for the team lab on the fifth floor. I went there on a Wednesday morning and there were very few people. Almost all the facilities in the virtual world on the sixth floor can be played. VR glasses will not be able to focus if they are not worn properly. Just adjust it and it’s ok, the running game is fun

The Takachiho Train is a tourist attraction worth visiting in Kyushu. It takes a long journey from Fukuoka, and it takes more time to go to Kumamoto Castle. The tour guide Xiaoyu is very patient and explains in Chinese and English, and also helps tourists solve various problems.
