I highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in the art of sword forging. It will be a lifelong treasure, both in reality and in memory! 🔨 Instructor/Communication: No Japanese language skills are needed. The instructor uses translation software to explain and communicate throughout the process, ensuring you understand the sword forging procedures. The instructor is very kind and professional, providing ample emotional support, leaving you not only with a wealth of knowledge but also a strong sense of accomplishment. 🔨 Experience: You might notice that the shape of the sword we made differs from those of other visitors. This is because we emailed the instructor in advance to discuss the desired shape (we planned to make the handle ourselves at home). The instructor confirmed it was possible and prepared a customized sword blank for us on the day, also adding steps to create a blade pattern. Participating in the complete process and crafting the sword in our minds step by step was incredibly moving. (The above-mentioned additions to the itinerary were agreed upon with the instructor for an additional fee.) 🔨 Time: Because there were two of us, and we had an extra-cost itinerary, we spent about 7 hours there (including breaks). The instructor guides each group individually before moving on to the next, so if you come as a group, estimate that it may take a little longer than the time stated on the website.

the nicest theme park ever..!! not to worry about que and its really is big and we have fun..totally recommended

The experience was great, especially the ropeway experience. I was quite scared since it was a bit windy and the thing that we were riding on was swaying during the windy times. But overall, it showed great views and offered a great experience for both of us.

I was able to use the Osaka Amazing Pass and various other facilities and products very conveniently. Pre-booking was a great help for a smooth trip, and the cost-effectiveness was excellent, which greatly helped reduce travel expenses, so I was very happy. And thank you. In addition, I think it is an essential option for a fulfilling, enjoyable, and convenient trip, so I highly recommend it to many travelers.

worth the visit. i wish we could have more time, nonetheless we were able to capture good memories and nice pictures. these places are far from each other and not very accessible for public transport.

Kobe Port Tower is such a nice spot to unwind and enjoy the city’s coastal vibes. The tower’s red design really stands out, and the view from the top is beautiful. A relaxing stop if you’re exploring Kobe!

A very worthwhile place to take children. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 There are many different professions for children to experience, it will definitely be an unforgettable memory. But try to choose days/times with fewer people to be able to experience more professions. 😄

Had an absolutely delightful day with our guide, Harry! the day does kick off nice and early but we were greeted by some wonderful snow upon our arrival in Himeji! Harry was so filled with knowledge and stores about the castles purpose, and was sure to tell us all about the different legends surrounding it. The view from the top is incredible as well! just make sure your calves are ready for some steep stairs 😂 Upon his suggestion, I also checked out the beautiful gardens next to the castle grounds, and they certainly did not disappoint. The lunch set was also absolutely delicious! Arima onsen town is also beautiful - and if public baths aren’t your thing, there are plenty of shops and little eateries for you to indulge in! the view from Mt Rokko was also a sight to behold! would definitely recommend this tour! the sights were wonderful! thank you again Harry!!

Bought 3 Gold Tickets and upgraded 1 of them to VIP on the spot because my son wanted the free Godzilla backpack. Just needed to pay the price difference. I went from Osaka to Kobe direction by Train and stopped at Maiko Koen Station. And from there rode the bus to cross the bridge to Awaji Island, stopping at Iwaya Junior High bus stop. We waited patiently at Iwaya Junior High bus stop until Nijigen no Mori's shuttle bus came and took us to the Godzilla Museum. The shuttle bus is free but needs to wait 30 min to 1 hour. Just wait at the exact spot where you exit the first bus. No need to cross the road.
