Perhaps because it was a Sunday, there was a long line at the ticket counter.
Since I purchased my ticket here, I was able to get my ticket and enter immediately without any waiting. I was very grateful.
It was a humid day with neither rain nor sunshine, and the "Crying Dragon" was roaring loudly.
The stairs are quite steep, so athletic shoes and a drink are essential.
It was my first time at Edo Village! There were so many interactive buildings and exhibits from the Edo period, and I'm disappointed I couldn't see everything 😭 There were also shows, but I only got to see one and I'm curious about the other works so I regret it 😭 There are souvenirs and food for sale, and even if you get tired there are plenty of places to rest and benches, so it's a comfortable place to spend time! The toilets were also relatively clean, and each stall had a cleaner, which was nice.
This time, because we arrived at Sendai Station after the counter service hours, we had to come back the next morning to exchange our tickets. The counter staff were very helpful. Over the next few days, we made good use of the tickets, traveling radially from Sendai to Aomori, Akita, Tokyo, and so on. However, we encountered a problem: this ticket must not be scratched, otherwise it cannot be scanned on the green machine; it will be ejected as soon as it is inserted. We had to go to the service counter for assistance (oddly enough, all their machines could read it). In addition, the complimentary Tohoku Enjoyment Ticket allowed me to exchange it for Matsushima ferry tickets and a handful of snacks and drinks, which was quite nice.
