“This was a great addition to my last day in Tokyo. Located inside a department store, it was easy to find. I spent maybe 30 minutes walking around and take pictures. I had tickets midweek and at 1030am so only few other people were present and I was able to take beautiful pictures without interrupting others. The gift store had wonderful souvenirs.”

One day coach loop in Okinawa: Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo cliffs, Bise tree road, and American Village shopping with multilingual audio.

“Il y avait trop d’endroit à visiter pour la même excursion. J’aurai préféré avoir plus de temps à chacune des activités et avoir moins d’activités. La visite du village et l’endroit des vieux arbres devrait être retiré à mon avis. J’ai apprécié les autres endroits. Le bus était propre et ponctuel. La guide était gentille.”
