Dotonbori

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.

My family and I were really looking forward to this snow trip. Luckily, the weather was great that day. We could see the entire Lake Biwa from the top of the mountain. The light snowfall in the afternoon added to the highlights of the trip. What I liked the most was our tour guide, Huahua. She was very cheerful and enthusiastic, which greatly enhanced the trip!

The ingredients were incredibly fresh overall. The Wagyu beef was exceptionally tender, juicy yet not dry, and had an irresistible aroma after grilling. For this price, it offers excellent value for money without feeling guilty. It's perfect for those who enjoy barbecue and want to treat themselves occasionally.

Thank you to our tour guide and driver for making our day wonderful. We enjoyed visiting the amazing sights of Kyoto and Nara. Even though it was winter, the matcha was still fragrant and delicious!
