I arrived around 8:30 this morning and went to queue for the boat. Luckily, I managed to catch the first boat at 9:30. Then I walked back to the ticket exchange counter to get my voucher. Haha, I was worried about long queues for the boat. I used the voucher exchange magnet and an ice cream. The walking path was very pleasant, with many trendy little shops.
We used all three facilities this time, which felt quite worthwhile. However, to use Okayama Castle and Korakuen Park, you need to exchange tickets at the museum next to Korakuen Park before you can enter. But the museum opens late, which is a bit inconvenient. It would be more convenient if you could exchange tickets at Okayama Castle as well.
I redeemed 5 items within three days, and luckily encountered a buy-one-get-one-free promotion: 1) Electric eCyc: I encountered this on the road, and the staff were very enthusiastic and helpful. 2) I redeemed a delicious ramen at Ichishoan Ramen. 3) Tenmaya voucher: Unfortunately, the staff didn't understand the redemption process, wasting a lot of time. 4) Kurashiki Bishoujo Amusement Park pass: I didn't figure out the redemption location and had to go to the third place before I could successfully redeem it. 5) Kurashiki Mitsui Outlet 1000 yen and food voucher: Excellent! There weren't many restrictions, and it could be directly used for discounts. In short, this voucher is very cost-effective and worth buying.
