one of the best meals we've had on our trip! we shared the same sentiments with the team... so many surprised and we loved the crab curry most of all. we wiped our bowls so clean that we were offered seconds! thank you for a wonderful experience and view of the river too.

Very easy to enter with Klook QR codes. It's much easier to book on Klook than on the official Japanese site. This occupational experience is perfect for children as young as 3 years old. Even adults sitting next to them feel amazed by the detailed mimic of a working experience provided. The children even earn a salary after each job, and the money can be deposited on a bank card inside a mimic bank, allowing them to go shopping with their own earnings. Although our children cannot understand Japanese, they still had a lot of fun.

It is convenient to purchase and use. Tickets can be ordered in advance and at a cheaper price. The activities are also interesting and the children have a lot of fun!

We loved Teamlabs planets in Tokyo but was disappointed in Borderless. Teamlabs Forest is a unqique experience that I would rank just below Planets but way above Borderless. the app to catch and release projected animals on the walls was a cool feature that my kids enjoyed a lot. it’s a lot like Pokémon go.

It costs 2,995 yen to take a large taxi from Fukuoka Airport. This time I stayed in a four-person room (can accommodate up to five people). It has a washing machine, simple kitchen utensils, and a standard flush toilet. The bathroom has a bathtub, and there are 2 sets of faucets for the bathtub and a shower. Not conflicting. There is a bus across from the hotel that goes directly to LaLaport Shopping Center Gundam Base, which is very convenient. A taxi to Hakata Station costs about 1,200 yen.

Liu Sang talks very humorously, leads the team very attentively and carefully, and is very popular. But I was a little disappointed that I suddenly didn’t go to Kumamoto on my trip.
