This attraction is for families especially with young children. Just be ready with 14 flights of steps with 27 stairs each, until you reach the top. Suggest Wear comfy shoes or rubber shoes. The roof garden was colorful and the view from the top of the lighted animal figures at the ground were awesome!

I went there in the morning before and went to see the night view this time. It was so beautiful because they even put up a tree before Christmas. It's a shame that it wasn't all captured in the photos. My whole family was satisfied.

It was a little windy, but it was great. The people I went with were very satisfied. I think we rode for about an hour, and I was even more satisfied because the guide on the boat explained and sang songs. If there was anything disappointing, it was that I couldn't find a Korean pamphlet, so I couldn't get separate guidance, but it was still nice to take a leisurely look around on the boat.

Today's tour leader is Xiaoyu, a handsome guy. He is very friendly in his explanations, has a friendly attitude, has accurate timing, and recommends many delicious foods. The class is very impressive.

I booked tickets for TeamLab Fukuoka on Klook and the admission experience was very smooth! After arriving at the site, we only needed to show the order information on our mobile phone, and the staff quickly scanned the voucher and allowed us to enter the exhibition space smoothly. The entire process was quick and easy, without any unnecessary delays or hassles, allowing us to quickly start exploring this amazing world of art. This seamless entry experience really added an even more enjoyable element to the entire event!

Very affordable. To maximize, better plot your trips and use this on dates when you need to ride JR lines, limited express trains, scenic trains and the Shinkansen. Easy to use and reserve.

The weather is very good, and the atmosphere of Uncle's performance is very good. You can cruise for about 30 minutes. It is very worth participating in this activity because the price is also very reasonable.
