Why people love Japanese Covered Bridge

The cooking course is well designed. The teacher pays attention to everyone's needs. In the traditional market purchasing process, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian students are taken care of. The required ingredients are purchased separately and the raw spring roll wrappers are made. Everyone has the opportunity to try it. , there are also teachers and teaching assistants patrolling the cooking process to check whether everyone's steps are correct. If there are any problems, they will remind you immediately. The portion design is just right. You will be very full, but you will not be unable to finish the 4 dishes, and the taste is also very good. Great. When taking the boat, the boatman was very responsible and helped to take photos (the photo skills are good and very beautiful). There was also a spin, which provided all the necessary experiences, and I also got recipes. Overall, I was satisfied.

I, my husband and my 8-year-old boy went to Ningy yesterday. My husband and I did vietnamese massage while my boy did foot massage. All 3 of us agrees we should give 5 star. The ladies know what they are doing, massage so accurately on the pressure points. And we do massage often so we know the good ones from the bad ones. All of us sleep midway. We are going again today. Highly recommended for the price quality ratio!

Fantastic tour with Thuan. I got to sample delicious traditional local food in locations which I’d never have known to visit. The food was excellent and Thuan was knowledgeable and super friendly. I’d highly recommend.

Maybe because of the heavy rain, there was some confusion in the assembly and queue. Someone tipped me when I was queuing up to board the boat. However, the experience after getting on the boat is good overall, the boatman will ask you to pose for photos.

The tour leader I met on this trip, Lee, was lively and professional. He liked learning different languages. In a tour group like the United Nations, he was able to speak a few words in each member's own language to all the group members. Although it was a pity that it was a rainy and windy day, it was overall a very pleasant trip.

It was such a magical experience to see the Old Town lit up in the night. And it was a romantic boat ride experience too! 🏮
