I went last time in July, and this time in October I went again to see the chef's seasonal dishes. It was another delightful meal. The dishes were delicious and full of tenderness, care, and human touch.

The itinerary was very fulfilling. Our guide, Liu, not only provided detailed introductions to the attractions but also shared local delicacies. The time was too short; I'd love to come back for an even more in-depth experience next time.

The kimono shop receptionist was very thoughtful; she contacted the photographer in advance. The photographer was also very good at guiding poses and even brought his own props. He included 12 edited photos, and the whole thing was done in one evening—it looks amazing!

The staff were very helpful, and some of them spoke Chinese, which made me feel very safe! The clothes were also very beautiful!
