The Kobe beef was superb overall, with an irresistible aroma, tender texture, and an excellent balance of marbling and sweetness. The Moon Viewing series is highly recommended; the combination of egg yolk and beef creates a smoother, richer flavor, making it a highlight of the meal. Other dishes were consistently excellent, with well-seasoned and delicate flavors; the scallops were enormous. The only minor drawback was the slightly limited selection of soft drinks, but this didn't detract from the overall highly satisfying dining experience.
The tour guide was very interesting. Although he didn't understand Japanese, he used a lot of gestures and sounds to help foreign tourists understand. People on the bridge greeted those on the boats warmly. We passed several bridges, and the areas under the bridges were very clean! Buying tickets on KKDay was very convenient; they would mail a QR code, which we scanned at the Ferris wheel to exchange for physical tickets. We told them what time we wanted to take the ferry, and we got our tickets in less than a minute. Evening was peak time, probably because the night view was great for taking photos, and there were long queues. Luckily, we went to exchange our tickets for physical tickets in the afternoon.
The kids loved it, so we booked well in advance. We arrived before 1 p.m., and at that time there was still some room, so we only had to wait in line for a short while.
The itinerary was delightful, with beautiful scenery and fresh air. Guide Lai provided detailed explanations and excellent service, making it highly recommended.
Today's itinerary was led by Ms. Vivi, and the overall schedule was quite relaxed and enjoyable. She was always happy to answer any questions we had along the way, and she proactively reminded everyone before each attraction, providing very thoughtful service.
