Tokai

Because it was during Silver Week, even though we arrived at 10am, we were directed to a temporary parking lot. However, it was only a 10-minute walk from the temporary parking lot, so it was fine. Since we had purchased electronic tickets, entry was smooth. There were many different kinds of animals, and it was very impressive.

I went there specifically to get Cinnamon. I arrived after 10 AM, so I couldn't get the limited edition plushie (sigh). I thought it wouldn't be too crowded since it was the day after a typhoon... but it was incredibly crowded (lol). I couldn't even find parking. If you're planning to go, be sure to allow plenty of time as it takes a while to find a parking spot. We didn't do any activities this time, just crossed the bridge. It's expensive by my standards... but it looked fun, so I'd like to make a reservation and do it again once my youngest is tall enough.

Scanning the QR code to enter the station is convenient and saves time; it's also easy to use with family! The Meitetsu Limited Express u-SKY line from the airport to the city center takes only 30 minutes, but a reserved seat ticket costs ¥450.

The coupon is incredibly useful! You can redeem it at the front desk for a special QR code, which adds an extra discount when you shop. Thumbs up! 👍

Purchasing a suitable local rail pass for your trip can save you from Japan's high transportation costs. You can reserve your seat in advance at any station using the machine, making it convenient, fast, and easy.

The driver arrived quickly, and his service was excellent both before and after the pick-up.

I bought a 5-day pass and stayed in Sendai for 3 days, starting from the last day. The Matsushima ferry ticket, grilled oysters, and grilled fish rice cake boat are must-dos.
