Smooth transaction using Klook. The exhibition is worth it if you're a JJK fan. Got so many sketches of the anime and photo spots. You'll also get a JJK student card upon entering ✨

I really liked the sightseeing tour, this is the very opportunity when you can see all the sights of the city at once for little money, if you want, you can get off the bus and explore the location you like on your own and transfer to the next bus, the ticket is valid for one or two days. The cost through the Klook app is really cheaper. Thanks to everyone.
