Ting å gjøre i TOTO Museum

En veldig god opplevelse. Det var lett å finne møtestedet på Bodø stasjon, og guiden Nanami var spesielt vennlig og vekslet uanstrengt mellom kinesisk, japansk og engelsk. Hun fortalte oss om reiseplanen og ga en kort beskrivelse av severdighetene. Minibussen var også veldig komfortabel, og sjåføren var dyktig. Hvis du har bagasje, må du kontakte oss på e-post på forhånd. Vi var heldige i dag; selv om det var overskyet med regnbyger, regnet det ikke da vi besøkte severdighetene, selv om det regnet kraftig på veien. Det brusende havet og den knallrøde torii-porten var også en flott opplevelse. Inne i Akiyoshido-grotten var det ganske kjølig, så det kan være lurt å ta med en jakke. Det føltes som en huleutforskning. Crêpen fra iskrembutikken ved inngangen til grotten var middelmådig og ikke billig.

Although this day tour only has 3 attractions, each of them has its own unique features and is well worth a visit. The sushi at Karato Market was fresh and delicious; we didn't go to the most famous shop because the queue was simply too long, but just randomly picked a nearby one and were already very satisfied, especially the fatty tuna, which melted in your mouth! We tried the pufferfish sashimi, which wasn't anything special. The rows of red torii gates at Motonosumi Shrine, paired with the blue sky, white clouds, and the endless sea, made me subconsciously take dozens of photos! Mount Sarakura at dusk and as the night lights begin to glow is truly enchanting! It's very suitable for photography enthusiasts, just make sure to reserve enough time for the round-trip cable car. The tour guide, Mr. Cheung, was very attentive; he always clearly stated the meeting times and reminded everyone when it was a good time to use the restroom. Explaining the itinerary and background information of the attractions along the way in English, Mandarin, and Japanese was effortless for him, definitely deserving of praise!

This tour includes a total of 3 attractions. The distances between them are quite far, making for a long drive and a slightly tiring experience. The seafood at the Karato Market was fresh and reasonably priced, and we really enjoyed the meal. Each piece of sushi cost around 200 to 600 Japanese yen, and seafood rice bowls with mixed seafood or salmon roe were available for 1,000 to 2,000 yen. The indoor dining area on the second floor requires a fee of 300 yen per person. Finally, regarding the night view from Mount Sarakura, the weather was not very good; it was very foggy and we couldn't see anything. Fortunately, the fog cleared up a bit when we took the cable car back down, providing a perfect ending with the night view. There is a panoramic restaurant on the second floor of the mountain, but seating is limited. As soon as the cable car arrives, you need to hurry and place your order; otherwise, once the seats are full, they stop taking orders. The restaurant only has about 12 tables, and due to a shortage of staff, the food is served very slowly, so you need to keep an eye on your return transportation time. Our tour leader, Ms. Yang Meng, was very friendly and shared a lot of useful information.

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! I had a wonderful time with these ladies learning about Japanese food. They could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Thank you so much for a very memorable and enjoyable experience. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan!

En dag full av interessante steder, forbered deg på en lang kjøretur... og ta med mat hvis du kan, massevis av det... Helligdommen er pen, men jeg elsker oppholdet ved Moriko Port. Dette er god valuta for pengene, takk Nicole for en godt organisert tur... engelsken din er god!

Overall, the trip was good, but I wish we had more time to explore Mojiko. Since it was a weekend, Mount Sarakura was very crowded, with long queues. Unfortunately, we missed the sunset and reached the top when it was already dark, windy and freezing cold, so there wasn’t much to see. Our tour guide, Robin, was very nice and attentive and took good care of everyone throughout the trip.
