The interior decoration is a bit old, but it does not affect the comfort of the house at all. The service staff are also very good. There are also small drinks and ice cream available 24 hours a day, which is very good

Even if it rains heavily, you can go shopping hahaha🤣The trail is easier to walk after the renovation. It takes about two hours to visit the park ~ lockers are free!

The motorcycle has a mobile phone holder, which is convenient for navigation. The appearance and performance are very good. There are 2 raincoats attached to the carriage. The oil needs 5 bars of oil to go out and 5 bars of oil to come back!

Use the QR code at the service desk on the first floor to exchange for a physical ticket. The ticket can also be used to visit the Science and Industry Museum. It is very cost-effective to bring preschool children. The holiday is over in two hours. It is quite fun. If you don’t have enough fun, continue to the Science and Industry Museum. Other halls are discharged, a good choice on rainy days👍

Recommended by Michelin Bib Gourmand, so I bought it while going south to watch the concert. The boss is kind and you can call to order the bento before picking it up, so you don't have to wait. The duck meat is delicious and the fish soup has a lot of ingredients.
