The tour guide was very attentive and provided detailed explanations. The only downside was that the itinerary was a bit rushed. Definitely don't come in the summer, it's incredibly hot!
The 30-minute performance was fantastic! Adults and children alike were absolutely blown away!! The whole process was smooth, and entry was quick! KKDay is so convenient!
With my electronic voucher, I went to the Seibu Railway service counter to complete the process. There were staff members who spoke Chinese, so communication wasn't a problem at all. It was a holiday, and there were almost no seats left on the Chichibu Limited Express before 11:30 AM. The staff member kindly helped me find a seat for the 9:00 AM departure (since I was traveling alone, finding a seat was easier). It was a truly unforgettable trip!
The shop isn't very big, and when we arrived there were already 7-8 foreigners inquiring, so it was a bit crowded. Although we waited a while, the front desk was quite efficient. It was my first time interacting with the pigs in person, and the pigs were all very cute. The staff helped assign pigs, so basically everyone could interact with at least one pig. The staff also asked if we wanted to pay for a Polaroid photo. Since it was a rare opportunity to experience this, we definitely had to take one. You can get an instant discount by sharing the shop on Instagram or writing a review on Google. Additionally, drinks are self-service, so it's recommended to get your drink before sitting down, otherwise the piglets will fall asleep on your lap and won't be able to get up. Finally, I'd like to mention that although the experience was very enjoyable and unique, and the store explained the terms and conditions, saying that the piglets' safety was the top priority, we were a little worried that the store might be deliberately feeding the piglets very small portions to prevent them from urinating or defecating easily. Many of the piglets were very thin, almost skin and bones, and one or two of them even had small scabbed wounds. Also, the store's hours were in short bursts, and we were worried that the piglets didn't get enough rest and food. We hope that the store can truly treat the piglets well, instead of just using them as tools to make money and extract as much profit as possible.
Select your entry time online and get a QR code to enter after purchasing. Ikawa Land is perfect for bringing kids. In addition to many photo spots, there are different mascots available at different times for you to line up and take photos with. There are also many Ikawa-related merchandise items. It's worth spending 1.5-2 hours here. Kids will go crazy when they see it.
