Our two tour guides, Xue and Xiaoye, were very responsible and dedicated. Although there were many participants, they made the trip very heartwarming. Highly recommended! 👍
The on-site experience was truly excellent; both the photo opportunities and the staff service were on par with Disney! Also, they don't accept cash on-site, but if you don't have a credit card, you can use an IC card with a maximum top-up of 20,000 yen (multiple cards can be used) to purchase merchandise. There are also small activities worth participating in for 700 yen – definitely worth checking out! Although I didn't win the grand prize this time, getting the Hachiko badge was still pretty good (though I really wanted Usachi). A minor drawback is that if you're taking the B1 subway from Higashi-Shinjuku Station, you might get lost and only see the crowd quite far away (I recommend using navigation), but I think the walking time from Shinjuku is about the same.
I have never had such close contact with pigs, this time I can finally experience it ~ 🐽🐽 The location of the store is very convenient, easy to find, because there is a large photo of piglets at the door. Customers can take the lift or walk up the stairs to the second floor. 🐷To have close contact with pigs, you have to fill out your travel records, put down your belongings in the locker🛅, disinfect your hands👐, take your mobile phone🤳 and go in to find the pigs~ The package includes 🐱smooth donuts🍩, with crushed nuts, very tasty ~😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 Drink self-service, cold 🧊, hot water, coffee, and coffee. When you are surrounded by a group of 🐽 pig BBs, you can't go get a drink 😅 The one-hour experience is very satisfying ~ Next time I have to bring the children 👪 to come first ~
