What We Loved

The staff accommodated to the long line really quickly, and serving staff could all speak English quite fluently. The warabimochi was worth queuing up for! The walk there was beautiful and relaxing too. We were amazed at the scenery, something we don’t get back in our very much city lives back home.

What Could Be Better

The line was incredibly long, but as mentioned, it was not as long as I had expected, given that it’s a famous spot.

Things good to know in advance

I would say do it during meal times because it wouldn’t be as crowded (everyone’s having their main meals).
