The unique lighting installations illuminating the historic city were a truly unique experience. I happened to be there on opening night, and it was incredibly lively. Using KKday's priority booking service and QR code for entry was super convenient, avoiding the queues for tickets! 👍🏻
My husband and I were interested in Christmas markets, so we visited without doing any research beforehand, but the view of Kobe from the ropeway was breathtaking. The herb garden was well-designed, making it easy to get around and giving us a taste of the European atmosphere. The Christmas market was small, but there was a wide selection of Christmas-related goods, and the food and drinks were delicious, so we were very satisfied.
So much fun!!! I even finished reading the manga before coming 🤣 I arrived at the Anime Forest around 10 AM, and there were Demon Slayer props to take photos along the way to Naruto 😆 I spent about 2 hours at the Book of Heaven 😂 It required a lot of brainpower and climbing, so wearing a skirt wasn't suitable, and I also picked up a lot of little things 😆 The staff were very friendly 🥹 Even after you're done, you can take photos in other parts of the park. The only downside was that the website said to exchange your ticket at least one day in advance, but when I went to exchange mine the day before, the staff wouldn't let me, insisting on the same day. But I was worried about not having enough time or finding a parking spot on the same day, so I arrived at the station half an hour early to reserve a spot and boarded the bus smoothly~ The customer service response was also excellent!!
Communication was smooth, the driver was very nice, drove very smoothly, and the car was very clean.
