Great handmade experience. Although the location is a bit hard to find, fortunately there is a notice board poster. The service lady is very friendly and kind to outsiders. Overall, it feels good.

Buying tickets on Klook is cheaper than buying them on site, and you can buy and use them now. You can generate a QR code to enter and exit the station directly. However, if your phone is bound to a Suica card, you can just take out the QR code and give it to the staff for confirmation.

Use the QR code to show the staff. On the day I went, there were few people. I arrived about 15 minutes early and the staff let me in. The place is small but there are activities to do.

You can inform the staff that you have made a reservation. The staff at the counter will explain in detail. There are many bus times to choose from. If it is not yet the departure time, you can wait. The place is clean and has a charging station. When it is time to get on the bus, the staff will come to pick you up and walk you to the bus. The driver is also lovely. On the day I went, it was raining, so he brought me an umbrella to borrow. The bus left on time. You should come and wait 10 minutes early.

If you can get it three times a day, your investment will basically be recovered. I would like to remind everyone to adjust the screen brightness to the maximum when opening the Qr code, otherwise the machine will not be able to scan it.

It was a great experience, but if the weather is bad, visibility is not high. I was very happy to see cute fish today. Recommend!

It's better to go there if you have children with you. Adults will probably find it boring and just wander around for half an hour before leaving...

Have your favorite seafood cooked and ready to eat
