To visit Meiji Village, it is best to pay an additional 500 yen for the optional bus fare. There are many frequent stops at the scenic spots. Understand the influence of Japan's Meiji Restoration in the future.

Super high CP value, a must-have when visiting Inuyama Castle. Round-trip transportation and tickets are all included. It also comes with ¥ coupons for 3 stores in the castle town. Think about it, how can you not buy it! ♡♡

It is convenient to buy tickets and exchange tickets. Inuyama Castle is beautiful and the Shitamachi style is very unique. I will use it again if I have the chance to go there again👍👍👍

The park is very big, and now there is a puzzle game with writers. When the weather is good, it’s great to take pictures no matter how you go. There are also buses within the park that you can use.

make sure you have a physical print out on physical paper of the voucher to exchange at the ticket counter. it’s a bit archaic but thats what they require

I went there again after 15 years ago. I always missed it, but it was still beautiful, and the guide's explanations were so memorable. It was great because it made the trip even more enjoyable.
