We’ve booked our motchi pounding experience months ago and like 40min before it should have star tree e I got a WhatsApp saying they are sorry but there s been a problem with our booking. When 2days earlier I got a msg saying they are waiting for us… really not ok! So yes they’ve payed us back - which is totally normal!!! But to cancel up don your clients less than an hour before when we’ve been waiting for this months. Really shameful! Kids were super sad and so were we…
Ko was an amazing guide! His approach to the class, combined with his understanding of Japanese history made the class so enjoyable and memorable. He was highly interactive and made everyone in the class feel welcome.
