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!!

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.
