It's cheaper to buy tickets on Klook in advance than at the venue. You can redeem and select your seats beforehand, and use a QR code to enter.

Me and my husband had a great time here at Solaniwa Onsen. We totally had some time to pamper ourselves after days of being so busy with our trip. Very relaxing indeed! And highly recommended for everyone who just wanted to relax for a while.

this was such a fun experience we were laughing the whole time the pigs are very cute and the staff make an effort to make sure everyone has a cuddle. please note you will need to sit in the floor the entire time, there was others who were complaining because they have back problems. You will need to wear socks as you have to remove your shoes as well. staff will take a photo for you and you can buy for 2,200 yen otherwise you can take as many photos as you want on your phone with no flash. we received our post cards but no donuts even though it was part on the package. I would highly recommend and then get pancakes after down stairs so good !!

It was wonderful to be able to enjoy Universal Studios without worrying about time, and then relax and unwind in a hot spring at night.

You can see the best view riding this ferris wheel! I enjoyed a lot! I'll be back for sure and I will choose next time the transparent carriage.

We had planned to use it at night, but my family was very tired, so we moved it up to around sunset. There were only four of us on the cruise—my family and one other gentleman—so it felt like a private cruise, haha! The guide gave excellent explanations, and the City cruise had the best facilities. The person assisting us spoke Korean so well, I wondered if they were Korean, which made things very comfortable. A cruise offers a different kind of scenery than walking around, so I highly recommend trying it at least once!
