breakfast
Breakfast was in the restaurant on the 30th floor; the view is very nice due to the glass wall on one side. (The view is very nice because of the glass wall on one side. You can also see the sea.)
It is buffet style and includes bread, rice, meat, fish, fruit, and crepes. I especially enjoyed the pumpkin soup and crepes. The crepes are baked one at a time by a machine and you can fill them with whatever you like. The one with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and custard was sweet and delicious. (I feel so guilty because I'm about to become diabetic.);つД｀)。
Spider-Man
We waited 80 minutes. We went early in the morning, but it was still quite a wait. The waiting line was indoors, so it was not hot and comfortable(*´▽｀*) . There was a good amount of exhibits. The system is the same as the one in Haripota, with moving images and seats.
minion
sherbet
It was hot, so I got in line to buy a drink and waited about 60 minutes!(;´Д｀).I honestly didn't expect to wait this long, so I was surprised!Σ（・□・；）.While waiting in line you can watch the Minion face cookies being made.
Thinking about it, I got in line to buy a drink, but ordered a sorbet. Well, it was delicious, so it was OK. This one has a large cup and a slice of pineapple🍍, so it's more filling than it looks. (Even the cashier said it was very satisfying.) It is amazing that the staff at USJ is willing to talk to you, unlike at Disney.
attraction
We waited 70 minutes. It was hot because the waiting line was almost outdoors, disguised as an indoor area. The waiting line was divided into three parts in the middle of the day. (The staff was sorting them out so that they were evenly distributed.) The boarding areas are therefore different. This meant that the boarding areas were different. I am wondering if the content of the attractions will be different depending on the boarding area. I thought it would be a loose attraction since it is a minion, but I was surprised that it was quite intense Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！ (I thought it would be like Pooh's Honey Hunt).
lunch
We ate at the Discovery Restaurant. In the center of the building are dinosaur bones. It is quite large. The restaurant was crowded because of the collaboration with One Piece. (To the level of restricting admission). This time, I ordered the collaboration menu.
It was 2,200 yen. It was delicious, but the quantity was a little short. Well, it's a collaboration, so it can't be helped.(・´з`・)。I really liked the fact that the staff valued the world view, such as the unit of money being berries instead of yen, and the entry into the store being a departure from the ship.
jaws
We waited 60 minutes. The woman who captained the boat had a cool voice, but it was a bit streamlined. I can't help but think she's already done a few laps. There is a place in the middle of the attraction where real flames come out, and I was surprised to feel the heat even though it was a good distance away(ﾟдﾟ)！。(It was like having a hairdryer all over me.)
magic square
The turnover rate is good because many people can enter at one time. I didn't know about the magic battle, but I enjoyed it because of the amazing visuals.
haunted house
We waited 30 minutes. Turnover is high here as well. There were a lot of people, and since we had to follow right behind the people in front of us, it wasn't very interesting since we knew where the ghosts were coming from.
Nintendo World
Admission here is limited and you need a pass that can be taken on the same day to enter the park. We got ours when we entered the park at 8:00 AM, and the earliest we could get in was 16:40~.It's very popular😖.The quality is so high that when you enter, you really feel as if you have come to the world of Mario!(*^▽^*).
The attractions had a 100 minute wait. Even with limited admission, it still takes this long!(;・∀・).We walked around inside the Koopa Castle until we got to the boarding area. I was never bored with the various decorations.
During the ride, you will be given a Mario hat and a glass attached to the ride. The glasses are used to project images onto the glasses. Therefore, you need to wear the hat deeply to see the images. The attraction was very interesting and a good reproduction of Mario Kart, but I felt that the operation instructions were a little difficult to understand."(-""-)".
The description of the video makes it sound as if you are going to hit the shell on the crib, but in reality, you can score points no matter which character you hit.
By the time the attraction was over, it was dark outside.
The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Umekoji
Basic Information
About 7,000 yen per night.
1 minute walk from Umekoji Kyoto Nishi Station.
Pets OK?
Convenience store (Famima) can be reached without going outside the hotel.
Starbucks is adjacent to the hotel.
Quiet and calm, even though it is only one stop away from Kyoto station.
There are several restaurants around (ramen, yakiniku, Chinese, pork cutlet, etc.).
It was very easy to go to a convenience store directly from the hotel. I also felt it was quite unusual to be near a large train station yet quiet at night. (Even with small children).
Issunboushi
A nearby yakiniku restaurant. At first I was planning to go to another restaurant, but they were all closing down, so this is the place to go. Lunch here costs around 2,000 yen. I only saw the lunch menu, so it was more expensive than I imagined. Seating is in a private room with a relaxed atmosphere.
In addition to meat, we ordered bibimbap and makgeolli. After all, good meat is tender and delicious!( *´艸｀).It was a very luxurious dinner as I don't usually eat such good food.
