How to check the cost

Check current in-store prices after choosing the takoyaki items and quantity. A river cruise, extra meals and shopping are optional expenses. No total budget is quoted because current food prices have not been verified.

If the weather is poor

The riverside walk is outdoors. Shorten or skip it in rain or strong wind and follow local access notices. If you add an indoor event, check its dates and entry conditions first.
