Finally

This puzzle walk is starting to feel like a Golden Week tradition. It’s nice that parents and kids can stroll around town together and have fun. Since you can enjoy the game while visiting cultural heritage sites, it’s perfect for a little outing. If you still haven’t made Golden Week plans, this could be just right.
