Dotonbori

We were able to enter immediately without having to wait in line for tickets, which was very convenient. We went in at 9am on a weekday, and we didn't have to wait in line for the elevator either; it was almost like having the place to ourselves. My child and husband were very happy.

There are Chinese-speaking staff on site who are very friendly and nice. Ordering via mobile QR code is very convenient, and the food comes out quickly. Most importantly, the meat here is really amazing. The Iberian beef has evenly distributed fat, making it incredibly delicious, tender, and fragrant when grilled. My kids also really appreciated it and ate quite a bit. You can eat to your heart's content in 120 minutes. Highly recommended!

The restaurant is located on the second basement floor of PARCO department store in Shinsaibashi. We went on a Monday night and there were many empty seats.

Book your tickets through Kkday. The ticket counter is right next to the exit of the Don Quijote Boat Route. This time, I went with my elders and discovered there are even more luxurious boats, but operated by different companies. Hopefully, we can try them out sometime. We were quite lucky this time; we met a lovely captain who only spoke Japanese, but his expressions were very rich. My elders were very happy! 👍

Very convenient. With luggage and plenty of souvenirs, there was no need to fight with other passengers on the subway or transfer between lines. A single bus took me directly back to Shinsaibashi. The official website says it's a 30-minute drive, but last night I personally experienced a smooth, uncongested journey and it only took 17 minutes to get back to Shinsaibashi. However, there are two major drawbacks: 1. The parking lot is not close to Universal Studios; it's a 10-15 minute walk from there. 2. There's only one return bus at 8:00 PM, so you must arrive early (around 7:45 PM). They take attendance and you have to sign in to board.

We traveled by car from Kyoto, first heading south to Nara and then north back. The scenery in each place was incredibly beautiful, especially during cherry blossom season, when the cherry trees were in full bloom. The tourist attractions were packed with people, and the good weather added many wonderful memories to the trip.
