After watching the WBC, I used the QR code to board, which saved me time waiting in line to exchange tickets. It was very convenient, and currently, there are no service fees. I truly recommend everyone buy it. Thumbs up.

Nao was super nice and helpful making the chopstick. This activity is super under rated and is really fun. There’s multiple woods to pick for your chopstick and they show hard the diffficulty will be. 100% recommend this for anyone.

Booking tickets was quite convenient, as I didn't need to arrive early. However, I did have to exchange the voucher at the counter first. It would be even better if I could just scan a QR code in the future. I would definitely consider purchasing again!

The hotel is right next to the subway exit and very close to Ueno JR Station. There's an elevator connecting to a pedestrian bridge that leads directly to it. The interior is clean, and there are many dining options nearby.

The girls were really very kind and welcoming, and the ceremony was short but intense. The lady officiating the ceremony was super nice and made us feel comfortable. You can take photos and videos. I would highly recommend it!
