Super convenient! We suddenly changed our itinerary to visit Suzuka, and the kids were thrilled to see the amusement park rides! I remembered Klook had package tickets available, and they could be used immediately! So I chose that option, and it was much cheaper than buying tickets on-site. Since it was a Saturday, the kids played while the adults went shopping! We all had a great time!

Fantastic experience! There's a restaurant inside where you can watch planes landing at Xiaogang Airport, with a great view. The animals are well cared for, and there's no unpleasant odor. The staff is patient and provides information, and they also tell me about the animals' habits for the kids. It's worth spending half a day there.

Convenient transportation near the Pier-2 Art Center. The hotel is generally clean, the rooms are tidy, and they ask daily whether you need your room cleaned.

Super convenient! Since it's not far from home, I bought a voucher, called to make a reservation, and headed over right away! Upon arrival, I checked in with the staff at the front desk ✔️, changed into slippers, and followed the masseuse in the elevator to the second floor. Then I changed clothes and the acupressure massage began. After it was over, I changed back into my clothes and went to the first floor to enjoy a healthy snack ❤️. After the massage, my legs, which had felt heavy, sore, and swollen, felt lighter. So comfortable 😌! It was quite sore during the massage, but afterwards, my body definitely felt lighter and more relaxed! I'll definitely come back again!
