Such a wonderful time. Definitely should be at the top of the list if you're going to do anything here in Japan. Everything is pretty much set up great. All the information is there on the website as to what you need to bring and such. Communication was amazing too, if you're afraid of not understanding anything, the staff was polite and helped in every possible way.
