There are lots of little piggy-shaped treats, and the staff will actively guide them to you. The indoor environment is clean and odorless. The donuts are a bit disappointing.
From high-end boutiques to adorable little items, you can find it all here; discount coupons can be redeemed on the second floor, section one, and can be used repeatedly.
There are many attractions, the time is a bit not enough, a bit rushed, because each attraction and up and down, if you have to see will not enough time, otherwise will waste the ticket. The tour guide was very good and very concerned about fellow travelers, but because each attraction can choose to listen to the tour guide explanation or free activities, so the tour guide does not know who to listen, I turn around every time, I do not see him, had to explore on my own. But for unfamiliar foreigners or people who come to play on their own, joining a group is a good option to save time in finding your way.
The content is exquisite, and every scene is incredibly classic! There's even a photo opportunity with Gii & Hachi at the exit. The only downside is that many photo spots can only be entered once, so I recommend doing your research beforehand to figure out which pose to strike in each spot 😂. The overall tour route is a bit short, and at 700 NTD, it's quite expensive… Playing games costs an extra 700 JPY, so if you don't win, it's a huge loss 😅. The exit area is filled with GiiKawa Park limited-edition merchandise, available only on-site and online.
