Destination Details

Visiting Tips
- It is recommended to allocate 1–2 hours, following the pace of your itinerary for the day, without needing to make a separate trip just to visit.
- It is crowded in peak season, so visiting early in the morning when it opens provides the best experience; some attractions require real-name reservations through official channels, so check in advance before departure.
- There are usually other nearby attractions in the same city, which can be combined with adjacent spots on the same route to fill a half-day.
