Beautiful location inside and outside. I enjoyed my experience, although it was quite warm inside (I went during winter so I had layers), but I guess this is for the cats. I definitely would recommend buying the cat food as the cats don’t really come up to you if you don’t have any food.

This Tokyo Metro card is incredibly practical and can be used on many lines. If you're planning to explore the city center recently, we highly recommend purchasing it from this vendor; it's both affordable and convenient.

If you don't plan on using JR much, this pass is a great option! I bought it this time to see the cherry blossoms in Tokyo. I didn't spend much time at each spot, so the pass was very cost-effective. Unexpectedly, I had a wonderful cherry blossom viewing experience in February! 🌸🌸🌸

Special thanks to our tour guide Mr. Davy, who was friendly, patient and really helpful. We had an amazing trip to Mount Fuji and the weather was very pleasant!! The itinerary was arranged very well and everything was going smoothly too.

Mr. Omar was super friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure journey to Mount Fuji with a super clear sky and sunny day. However, 30 mins lunch break was relatively short and we were rushing up to finish our lunch and barely have time for toilet breaks, due to long queue. It will be great to allow 45mins lunch breaks instead. Other than this, schedule were well planned and we were able to arrive Tokyo Station before 5pm local time. Definitely an enjoyable experience!
