It was a wonderful experience! The dogs were all adorable, and the staff were very kind and friendly. However, since our visit was at 12:30 PM, the dogs seemed a bit tired, with three out of five sleeping nearby. I recommend coming earlier to catch them during their more active hours!

The shop isn't large, but the decor is adorable, and the crowd control is excellent. There aren't too many people at any given time, so there's plenty of space to browse. When you visit, remember to choose your bread and place your order at the first stop. Then, you can browse other items, pay for everything together, and finally pick up your bread. This makes the process very smooth!

After exiting the subway, you scan the QR code at the Shinkansen gate to enter. I chose a seat with luggage space, but once my luggage was placed, the seat couldn't recline. Midway through the journey, an accident occurred: someone was hit by a car on the tracks, turning what should have been a 2.5-hour trip into a 4-hour one. Upon arriving in Tokyo, many people were stuck at the station, as many trains were delayed or canceled.

We were able to comfortably explore the city in Tokyo. However, it was hot during the day because it was an open-top bus. A personal portable fan is a must! Still, we were able to fully enjoy sunny Tokyo. The Korean audio guide was convenient, but sometimes the audio didn't match the location.

After taking the Skyliner from the airport to Ueno Station, I transferred to the subway to reach the hotel. I decided last minute to purchase a 2-day pass. This time, I opted for a physical card because the ticket machines at Ueno Station allowed for QR code redemption, making it simple and convenient to use. It was very cost-effective and worthwhile, truly the best transportation pass choice for my trip to Tokyo.

Weather was great. Tour guide did a good job in explaining the itinerary and background. Bus driver was friendly. Except for the cruise, it was an overall amazing trip.
