Great Show

Great show of dancing and song. The tour around the village afterwards was very informative and interesting.

Great experience. Definitely recommend the nature walk and trying the corn on the cob made in a hot spring.

Nice walk around the village

It was interesting to learn about life in the village and walk around with the guide for about 1 hour. Unfortunately, it was raining the whole time so we skipped the walk around the thermal attractions afterwards. Well worth the money especially with the discount. If you do the cultural performance afterwards (to be booked separately) you can leave the village in between and come back for the performance

A great experience

A great experience, especially for the UK visitors I brought with me. Our guide was good, particularly when she departed from her set script.
