love, love, loved !!!! It was an amazing experience for me and my partner. It was clean, sanitary and all in all, so much fun. The pig are super interactive and friendly - They're curious as well, so they will just come and snuggle up to you whenever but if you do have 1 - 2 pig laying on you, be warned that the whole flock will come and snuggle up on you too. I've discovered that they love to pile up on one another to sleep so when you have 2 or more - expect alot more to come to you. The staff were amazing, they'll notice if you don't have a pig and will personally bring you one and will continue to make sure you have an experience with the pigs. The pigs are well potty trained aswell, they know when to go to the toilet and while I was there - I did not witness any accidents made by them. I was with the biggest one there - who laid on my lap for 40mins. 10/10 - I would definitely do it again when I come back.

Guide Yuni-chan is really the best^^ She was very kind and gave good explanations on the bus the whole way. Above all, she's so cute👍 She sent me important information and a list of good restaurants, so it was easy to get around. Thank you for the great tips😊 Ah!! And what I was really thankful for was that she took pictures of each and every one of us, and she did it with such sincerity and diligence.. My older sister and I traveled together, so we didn't have any pictures together, but thanks to the guide, we were able to take pretty and wonderful pictures♡ Thank you. Next time, I'll come see Yuni-chan again with my husband and kids🥰
