With the yen's depreciation, this voucher is really appreciated 🥺✨ Some Olive Young staff don't know about this voucher, so it might be a good idea to ask if you can use it once before purchasing! I want to buy it again!!

The buffet has a wide variety of dishes and is rich and delicious! But because my stomach is too small, I died after eating one plate. The waiter helped us to sit by the window. It was nice to eat and enjoy the scenery.
