It's a place worth visiting. Both adults and children have a lot of fun. The venue is moderately crowded and the transportation is convenient.

With project mapping, the pictures you draw will actually appear and move in front of you, and there are many other ways to play that parents and children can enjoy together. There are no toilets, so once you leave, you're finished, so please be careful.

The location is convenient. It takes only 5 minutes by monorail to get to Naha Airport. It takes about 30 minutes to get back to Naha Airport. There is a Lawson 7-11 nearby.

The itinerary was overall good, but there are a few things to note: 1. Some of the pick-up locations were not clearly marked. For example, the American Village Hilton Hotel was outside the small gate pick-up point in the parking lot, not the hotel entrance. 2. There is no specific lunch time, and there is not even enough time to buy it. It is best to prepare in advance to eat in the car. 3. The time spent at each scenic spot is very tight, so walk quickly and don’t take photos for too long.

Great experience! You will receive a WhatsApp notification of where to wait before you leave. It's near the monorail, easy to find! Because there were people, we left ten minutes early, then the guide asked me to download the QR code to have Mandarin voice navigation. When we arrived at Sei Nagashima, we had an hour for everyone to get off the car and take pictures and walk. Not bad 👍

The place is easy to find. You can see the shopping mall as soon as you exit the monorail. There are signs and you can walk a few minutes away! My son loves it ❤️ The place is not big, great for photography!
