    I got a free drink and a free photo. You can see Mt Fuji from a distance. There are ushers to guide you. I think it’s worth a visit. I would recommend getting a picture when you can see Mount Fuji around sunset.

    It's a great spot for taking photos, but those with a fear of heights might need some time to adjust. There's an elevator to the top floor on the left side facing the building. You can stay from the entrance until evening. We encountered rain in the evening, so the top floor was closed, but it reopened after the rain stopped, and we almost missed the beautiful night view. There are many restaurants nearby, but the prices are generally on the expensive side.

    Had an amazing time at USJ! Super Nintendo World was so fun, beautifully designed, and full of great vibes. The whole park had such happy, exciting energy. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

    It’s simply amazing how you get to see the entire city so calm and peaceful. For a moment, it feels like everything slows down—the lights, the breeze, the quiet—it all comes together to create such a relaxing view

    We had a wonderful time at Tokyo Disneyland, even though we couldn’t spend the entire day there. We entered the park around 3 p.m. after returning from Gotemba, but we still managed to enjoy several attractions.One of the highlights was definitely The Beauty and the Beast themed ride. It was fun, immersive, and beautifully designed — a truly picturesque experience that we would highly recommend.As for the fireworks at the end of the day, they were a bit simple and not particularly impressive, but they still added a nice closing touch to our visit.Overall, despite the limited time, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would love to return for a full-day experience next time.

    Seamless booking and entry during the day. Altho weekdays are consider less busy, however the queue for each ride and snack bar is so long. The disney premier pass same me lots of time. Also once received the QR code from trip, can directly scan into the disney app for entry to the park

    A really fun look at the sets and behind the scenes of Harry Potter! There’s no rides but we enjoyed all the interactive experiences. You can even sign up to download photo and video memories :) recommended if you have an extra day in Tokyo. It is a good half day so book early and get a good entry time.

    Near Tennoji in Osaka, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Osaka's night scene from 300 meters high. You can see the sunset around 5 pm. Afterwards, go to the garden on the 16th floor of the building. The building is a complex that integrates restaurants and shopping malls and is worth checking out.

    Aquarium is amazing and well maintained, my only problem were people who kept taping on glass and sticking their faces bothering fishes. There should be sign that glass should not be touched (especially for all grown up people who were doing it)
