Ikebukuro

The food was plentiful and the ingredients were fresh. The staff adjusted the seasoning to our tastes. The location was a bit hard to find, but I still recommend it because it's really good.

Although the exhibition area isn't very large, the facilities and equipment are quite well-designed. It's a good place to bring children to stroll around. If you want to appreciate it at a leisurely pace, you could spend 2-3 hours there, but if you just want to see it quickly, you can finish in about an hour.

The price is cheaper than buying it on-site. The downside is that you have to queue to exchange tickets and go through the manual channel. Although it doesn't take much longer, you might prefer to just go through the gate easily XD. Also, the staff at the Ikebukuro service center speak Chinese, which is very helpful!

It's alright; there's a good variety of meats, though the quality is only average. But for this price, it's acceptable. It's a good choice for people who want to eat meat but don't have high expectations.

Although I was worried about the weather, we departed on time. There was free Wi-Fi available, which made it very comfortable. The break times along the way were also just right, so I had no complaints.

This exhibition requires online purchase of tickets for specific time slots for entry. We initially wanted to buy them on-site, but staff asked us to complete the purchase online using Trip.com, so we opted for the familiar KKDay. After purchasing, showing the voucher was all it took for entry, which was very convenient. Also, note that the exhibition entrance is located in the Suncity B1 underground shopping mall towards Ikebukuro. Suitcases and backpacks are not allowed inside the exhibition area. The exhibition is one-way; once you leave, you cannot turn back. Cell phone signal inside is very poor, so be sure to connect to Wi-Fi. The exhibition is mainly for taking photos, and before leaving, you can take photos with two large plush toys. Kikawa is incredibly cute! Even on a weekday during our winter break, it was quite crowded; if you're going on a weekend, you might need to buy tickets in advance.
