Better than expected, the stage effects are surprising and recommended. The only problem is not understanding Japanese. Although I borrowed a subtitle device, it sometimes froze, but since I had read the plot online, it didn't affect me much.

Wonderful experience. Using the voucher was very easy, organization at the entrance was amazing, there were info signs and employees helping us go to the correct entrance. At the top, there is also a photoshoot service - you can buy the photo later or resign. Highly recommended!!

Booking train tickets and the 2-day pass on Klook in advance was so convenient. Riding the SPACIA X was truly comfortable, and upgrading to car #2 was worth every penny! I would definitely book again when visiting Nikko in the future.

Great, daytime is good, but it must be even better at night or sunset. It's well worth the price, and the shops and restaurants are nice too.

There's a diorama of Sendai City's center and the planned reconstruction of Shoto Junior High School, and the area with the foundational elements of the concept is spatially wonderful. The chatting building plushies were adorable!
