Showing the QR code to enter is very convenient and fast. The exhibition hall has three floors, and the penguins are the most impressive. They can watch them up close and feed them, which is very worthwhile.

Chartering your own car gives you the freedom. You can decide your own itinerary and how long you want to stay. You don’t have to catch a train like you would with a tour group. You just have to take a photo and get on the bus as soon as possible. If the air tickets are easy to get, the van may actually be better than the tour group in five days. Still a good deal

I ordered A5 Wagyu Sukiyaki, and the waiter helped wash the first slice and put the vegetables on the plate. The beef was coated in egg wash and was tender and delicious. You can also order different meats in the A5 set meal, which is worth recommending!
