VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Review for Hanno and Mitsui Outlet

In last week, I went Ikkebukuro station and looked for seibu tourist information center to get seibu 1 day pass which I bought. Although Veltra wrote the center is near by east exit of ikkebukuro station, I didn't find because it's situated nearby east entry of station and seibu line. So, if you plan to go there, please make sure which exit you are going out. Then I took seibu ikebukuro express to Hanno to visit Hanno, Koma, Iruhashi and Kokukoen regions. When I arrived Hanno, I asked information center about Hanno hiking trip till to Koma station through Mt. Tenran, Koma ridge and Kinchakuda garden. On the hiking way, some old men asked and told me that the spider Li Li in koen is now finished. It's really annoyed for me to go on my hiking. After arriving the midst of Mt. Tenran, I decided to get back to spare the time for other places. Then the way to that garden through koma ridge seemed to be very long way and not only forest journey. I believed that 2-3 hours for that hiking means walking without a rest. If you plan to see spider li li in such garden, you should plan before the end of September. Old men told me september 20 is the last time to see it beautifully. Then I went to irumashi to get Mitsui outlet because I like window shopping. I usually go to Ami outlet in ushiku. Mitsui is almost the same but it has 2 floors and Ami is just one floor, that's why Ami is wider. Shops in Mitsui including food court are narrower than Ami. But Mitsui is easier to get. Unfortunately my plan was terminated in Mitsui because I was late for my lunch and also my shopping took long time. Altough I really wanna get Tokorozawa aviation museum, I couldn't go because it close at 5 pm. For that trip, I just satisfy. If you plan to go just one spot for a day, one way tickets or suica may be cheaper but it depends on your spot. One point is that don't believe the pictures and informations on internet and guide book totally, the difference may make you to be disappointed.
