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.

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.

Showing the QR code directly for admission is super convenient, and there were no difficulties using it. The theme park itself is small, catering heavily to fans, but seeing it still makes you willing to spend money 🙂

Klook's recommendation this time was excellent! The Wagyu beef was incredibly delicious! Great breed and quality! We were so full that we couldn't try everything! A very satisfying dinner!
