We Bsoluyely love visiting this quarry. It's about 50 deg F inside the quarry. The massive space and its history is a reflection of japanese craftsmanship. We highly recommend this place, especially in the summer.

A must going you're within the visiting distance. Really awe-inspiring stuff. You wouldn't believe an underground space of this monstrous magnitude was partly carved out by hand. Sheer feat of determination. Make sure you take a pullover with you because it's quite cold, even if outside is hot. It was about 7 degrees centigrade when we went there. An hour should be enough for a complete tour. Side note - it's quite often used for weddings, exhibitions, films, TV and music videos. Huge parking area available for those coming by car.

Visited in October 2020 The quarry-turned-cavern museum is a bit far from Utsunomiya downtown, connected by just a narrow prefectural road and if you bother to use public transportation, an hour bus ride from the central station. Nevertheless it's a unique experience because to my knowledge, it's the only subterranean museum in Japan. Worth a visit especially if you are into history and art. The cavern turned out to be much bigger than what I expected. It's said it started relatively small since the Edo period and later the exploitation of the stone picked up during the industrialization of Japan afterwards (AFAIK it was only closed for commercial quarrying in 1970s). In some places, the differences of the etched bedrock and walls due to manual and modern mechanical masonry techniques are shown. There were also interesting permanent art exhibitions inside the cavern. They also exhibited the photos of films and TV series that took place in the cavern, one of them is cult TV series Yuusha Yoshihiko (I think it was one of the episodes in 1st season).

Unbelievable place. You will feel like you are in a different world. I have been to many caves in Japan but this one is the best. It is even not a cave, it's a small city under ground.

It’s the massive underground network of caverns with more than 20,000 square meters of open space. Its scale is equivalent to Metropolitan Area Outer Waterway in Saitama, which is another place I would recommend. For 800 yen it’s very much worth visiting as it will give you an one of a kind experience you can’t handle elsewhere.

Pretty awesome place to pay a visit with family! Cool underground old stone mine, the temperature underground is cool and comfortable. The view here is pretty awesome, lots of movie and advertisements are filmed right here! It is definitely worth taking a visit here with family. There is a restaurant right in front of the mine entrance, so you can enjoy a meal or ice cream here nearby. We pretty love it!

This place is super unique. It’s basically a walk-through cave where they used to mine stones used in building, and it kind of looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. It’s underground, so it feels nice and cool during the hot summer. :) It’s also a short walk to some other cool historical areas such as the giant Buddha statue.

(Translated by Google) I was impressed by the appearance even before I entered, and the moment I entered, I screamed in admiration. A must-see place. The parking lot is large. (Original) 入る前から外観で感動し、入った瞬間わぁーと感嘆の声を上げてしまいます。必見の場所。駐車場広い。

It was such a surreal experience walking around the subterranean “small city”. I was awestruck by the hand digging skills of people in the past. It is unbelievable that human could build such huge stoned-complex like this in the time when there was merely any advanced technology. It was for sure worth a visit, but there was too few descriptions as well historical information displayed inside the museum.

Worth the drive from Tokyo with some stops along the way. My son thought it was spooky.

An awesome place to take beautiful photos of nature (and of course ourselves as well). It is literally a natural refrigerator so please do wear a thick clothes when you visit here. There's a cafe outside the cave that sells delicious gelato ice cream and the best coffee I've ever had in my life.

Lovely place, worth to go. The huge cave have treated with soft background music and lighting effect. It’s cold inside the cave, which likely a super large fridge to freeze people 😂

There are showcase the stone's distribution, mining techniques, and transportation methods, providing an excellent overview of its history. Don't miss out on this must-visit museum!

I went here in a kind of enactment of going into mewtwo cave. Place felt more holy than just some cave or a quarry.

It takes approximately 32 minutes to reach the awe-inspiring Oya History Museum (大谷資料館, Ōya Shiryōkan) from Utsunomiya. Situated in the picturesque Tochigi prefecture, this remarkable museum is ingeniously nestled within an expansive, abandoned stone quarry. The sheer craftsmanship and ingenuity displayed within this man-made marvel are nothing short of extraordinary, leaving visitors in a state of awe and disbelief. Exploring the museum's intricate stone formations and learning about its fascinating history is an experience that truly defies imagination!

A very large stone quarry of Oya stone, which is considered quite famous in Japan and is used in many important buildings around the country.

Great underground former digging place. Watch your steps. Isn't cold as some say.

Okay place to explore the history of oya history. The estimate walk through of the museum is around 30 mins. This is also a famous place for MV, TV drama and wedding.

This place is simply a super cool place to visit in Tochigi. If you wanna take good quality pictures there, iPhones don’t cut it so bring a professional camera perhaps w/ tripod.

Cool place to visit and to know about the stone quarry industry ~

Cool place! Definitely worth a visit.

This place is massive! It’s really good to see the history of stone mining. They used the stones for building forts and castles.. It’s very cold inside. I was surprised to find out that they also do weddings and other functions there as well. So cool. It’s around ¥800 per adult for the entrance fee. We drove there, google maps was pretty accurate and parking is free of charge.

Interesting place place to check out (reminds me of the Long you caves in China, technically both aren’t caves but are man made), the souvenir shop has some weird items, cafe has a nice strawberry blended drink.

Underground cavern was very cold but amazing to see the mining marks up close! Very spacious, only that stairs can be a bit of challenge...

You must go there! The underground is cold and beautiful

Kewl, took a bit to get in

A place to learn how stones are created. The cave experience was great together with the lighting effects. You are able to see and wonder how they did it. Worth the trip.

真夏でもダウンが必要です。

坑内の気温は一年を通して15℃前後で夏は涼しく快適に過ごせます。 映画やドラマ、PV撮影などで度々使われる事が多いので一度はお目にかかる方も多い筈です。 まるで異世界にいるかの様な神秘的な空間です。

入場料高い800円‼️真夏は14度で涼しいから仕方ないのかなあー？！出たら自然カキ氷食べようと思ってたけど、涼しかったからスルーしてしまった！残念。歳とったら来れない場所だね！階段多いし濡れてるし、、。

人工と自然のせめぎあいの痕跡の空間、残暑の渦中の13℃は快適だった。

近いし　すずしい

真夏でも地底空間の温度が16℃の世界。

百聞は一見にしかず。坑内は真夏でも12℃の珍体験をぜひ。オススメです。

チケットを買うのに並んでいた時、窓口の外で手指消毒を促す中年のスタッフの男性がいました。私の前まではその男性がお客さんに直接スプレーしてくれていたのに、急にそれをしなくなり「そちらで消毒してください」という案内に変わりました。足で踏むとスプレーボトルの頭を押して消毒出来る仕組みのものが設置しており、大人の私はすぐに理解して足で踏みましたが、息子は幼稚園やスーパーなどでやるのと同じ様につい手が出てしまい、手のひらでスプレーボトルの頭を押したところ、中年の男性スタッフがすごい形相で「触らないで！触らない！」と言って子供を睨みつけました。 実は息子は発達障害があり言葉の理解に難があります。息子本人としてはちゃんと消毒をしただけでして、その手段が主催者側の意図にそわなかっただけなのに、子供相手にトラウマになりそうな凄みでしたのでとても嫌な思いをしました。もう少し言い方ってものがあるんじゃないかなと思います。 クチコミ見たら、数週間前にも体が弱い方に対しての態度にがっかりする様な対応があったようなので、ここの場所はハンディがある方に理解がないスタッフが多いのかなと感じました。 駐車場を指揮している若い男性スタッフ方は「暑いのに遠い駐車場になってしまいすみません」とにこやかに対応して下さり、消毒の件で少々心が萎えていたので温かい気持ちになりました。なので、星1つにしたいところ2つにしました。 言葉かけ一つだと思うんです。 せっかくの旅行なので、気持ちの良い対応をお願いしたいものです。

夏の暑さから逃げたい時、最高 とても涼しい?

2020年8月に訪問しましたが、開いてます。 首都圏から日帰りで行けちゃうのでいいですね。 見学可能エリアがもっと広ければ良いのにって思ってしまう。

非常に涼しく、真夏の観光地として最適でした。とても大きな空間にこどもと一緒に圧倒されました。

夏は涼しくとても良い

夏場なので涼しさが素晴らしい。併設のショップのジェラートもよい！

夏に行きたくなる場所です！ 中はとても美しいです！

夏でも結構涼しいです！寒いの苦手な方は防寒対策が必須です。

暑い夏に行くと最高！ 館内12度で少し寒かったけどとても幻想的な空間。 沢山のCMや映画やPVなどで利用されている。 最近だとJソウルブラザーズPVや飛んで埼玉(映画)等。 石材の地下採掘現場跡。 お土産に大谷石のコースター購入。結露が染み込む便利アイテムまた来たい。

涼しくて最高！大谷石の歴史も面白い。

夏はgood！

すごく不思議な空間です 全ての採掘場がそぉなのかは分かりません… 外は35℃なのに採掘現場の中は12℃… 修学旅行で日光に行ったことがあるのですが、何故ここが見学コースになっていないのか… 暗くて危ないから？気を付けて歩けば良いだけ。 大人数が一度に入る事が出来ないから？コントロールすりゃ良いでしょ…

採石所の跡の空間に感動

夏の暑さを忘れるほどの涼しさ。いや、寒さ。空間と石の芸術。

夏におすすめです。 すごく涼しかった。 中は暗いので足元注意

上着あった方がいいです。8月の平均温度は12℃だそうです。

外が35℃超えている時に初めて来ましたが、冷気漂い、歴史を感じる場所に来られて最高でした。(´▽`)ノ

神秘的で圧倒されました

涼しくて面白い。 上に羽織る物が必要。

(Translated by Google) Cool (Original) 涼しげ

(Translated by Google) It's cool (Original) 涼しいよ

衝撃的な場所です。

とても綺麗で涼しく楽しめました。

暑い時期は最高です！

なかなか見ごたえがあります。夏でも寒いくらいなので、何か羽織るものを。

いつきても、神秘的で素敵な場所です。昔の人の知恵とパワーに驚かされますね。

(Translated by Google) Good (Original) いい

夏でも中は12℃。神秘的な地下宮殿で涼しさを満喫したあと、外に戻ると一瞬でメガネが真っ白に。

神秘的で、石を採取するやり方を学べる場所です。猛暑の日でも避暑地の涼しい環境でした。

真夏に涼を求めるに最高の場所でした。但し、気温差が25℃ありました、体調管理は確りと。一眼レフ必携かと思います。

中は夏でもヒンヤリしていて、天然クーラーとはこのことですね。 自然のパワーを感じないのは人工的な建物だからでしょうか。

初めて行きましたが、中に入ったら、だんだん下ったら，、寒くなってきて上着を着てないと肌寒く、温度が12℃で外の温度差があり、気持ちよかった。

涼しくていいのですが、久しぶりに来たら駐車場が遠くになって年寄りには優しくないかも。もちろん採掘跡は階段だらけなので年寄りは無理か！

Kind of a hidden gem, but it's been getting more and more popular lately. You can go inside a large stone mine and see where blocks were cut from the walls. The actual museum part isn't so interesting, but just walking around in this giant man-made cave is super cool. Definitely a memorable experiences. Lots of TV shows and concerts have been shot and held here as well.

Cold. It's 1 degrees Celsius inside. Beautiful and quiet place. A lot of movies were shot here.

Very impressive and educational tour. Hard to imagine the amount of hard work to mine the stones manually before machine took over. Respect to all the works and amazing craftsmanship.

It is a quarry of Oya stone where a person cut out Oya stone by hand!! Summer is also great for summer heat. It is cold place.

Very much a Japanese style museum with lots of reconstructions and models to see. English speaking guides available for free, or audio in various languages via a headset.

So far I haven't been to an artificial underground mine as they usually are difficult to access and dangerous. This one is easy to access, you can take stairs. It's not a big mine but still impressive to see what has been achieved here. Best would probably be a visit of a special event hold here, like concerts or such.

Very good experience. Recommend if you are in the area.

スゴかった。好き！

(Translated by Google) It seems that it is also a shooting place for TV. It was mysterious and very good. (Original) テレビの撮影場所にもなっているみたいです。 神秘的で凄く良かったです。

(Translated by Google) I didn't have any particular plans, so I dropped in and found the answer. There is an admission fee (about 800 yen for sure), but I think there is no loss in paying this. There is no doubt that even an amateur who knows nothing can enjoy it with the majesty and scale of an underground temple. After enjoying the whole thing, you can relax at the cafe where you can drink sweets and coffee using strawberries unique to Tochigi prefecture, and there are a lot of very cute stone miscellaneous goods sold, so it is a very good sightseeing that is fun to see, eat, and buy. I think it's the ground. As an aside, the U-shaped construction happened to be on location and I talked a little. It's a good memory. (Original) 特に予定していたわけでもなく、ふらっと立ち寄ってみたのですが、大正解でした。 入場料はかかりますが(確か800円くらい)、これは払って損は無いと思います。 何も知らない素人でも、地下神殿のような荘厳さとスケールの大きさで楽しめること間違いありません。 一通り楽しんだあとは、栃木県ならではのイチゴを使ったスイーツやコーヒーが飲めるカフェでのんびりできるし、とてもかわいい石の雑貨がたくさん売られており、見て、食べて、買って楽しいとてもいい観光地だと思います。 余談ですが、U字工事がたまたまロケで来ていて少しお話しました。いい思い出です。

(Translated by Google) Admission: 800 yen for adults. Last admission: 16:00. Parking: Free. Very dynamic! And fantastic! The area is large, but the atrium (or ceiling?) Is high, so a fairly large space continues to the back. There are monuments here and there and they are lit up. The temperature inside is low, and it is cold in the middle of winter, from 2 ℃ (winter) to 7 ℃ (midsummer), so a jacket is essential. At the cafe in front of the museum, Oya stone interior goods are on sale. (Original) 入場料:大人800円。最終入場:16時。 駐車場:無料。 非常にダイナミック！そして幻想的！ 面積も広いのですが、吹き抜け(というか天井？)が高いので、かなり広い空間が奧へと続いています。 所々にモニュメントがあり、ライトアップされています。 中は気温が低く、2℃(冬)～7℃(真夏)と真冬の寒さで、上着必須です。 資料館前のカフェでは、大谷石のインテリア雑貨が販売されています。

(Translated by Google) The remains of a quarry used for various shootings. Convinced by visiting. I will use this. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an underground temple.

(Translated by Google) I wanted to go here once. It is also famous as one of the "sacred places" that has been the stage for many PVs and MVs since ancient times. It seems to be famous among Ishiya-san, and it seems that it is used quite a lot in the city of Utsunomiya. Contrary to the poor entrance, I am surprised that the inside is very wide. I forgot whether it was during the war or after the war, but it was also used for rice storage. If you go to Utsunomiya, you should definitely go (Original) ここ、一度行ってみたかったんです。昔から多くのPVやMVの舞台にもなっていた「聖地」の一つとしても有名。 石屋さんの間でも有名のようで、宇都宮の市内でもかなり使われているみたいでした。 中は入口の貧相さとは裏腹にｗ　とっても広くてびっくりします。 戦時中だったか戦後だったか忘れましたが、米の貯蔵庫にも使われていたそうです。 宇都宮に行ったなら、ぜひ行くべきですよ

(Translated by Google) It was a fantastic and mysterious space that I experienced for the first time in my life. However, it is very cold and there is no toilet, so you need to prepare before entering so that you will not be pulled back to reality. (Original) 幻想的で、生まれて初めて体験する神秘的な空間でした。ただ、非常に寒く、かつトイレが無いので、そこで現実に引き戻されることがないよう、入る前に準備が必要ですね。

(Translated by Google) It's such a fantastic place that artists such as movies and music will want to use it. You should definitely go there once. (Original) 映画や音楽といったアーティストたちが使用したくなるのがわかるくらい、幻想的な場所です。必ずいちどは行くべきですね。

(Translated by Google) There were quite a few people because it was during consecutive holidays. With alcohol disinfection, no body temperature check. The distance to the people in front and behind is close, so there is no warning. It's only used for shooting, so it looks good, but I feel that the admission fee of 800 yen is high. The temperature inside the building is 13 degrees in September. If you are cold, you must wear something. Athletic shoes are recommended because the feet inside the building are bad and wet, even if it is sunny outside, probably because of the rain the day before. Also, since there are many stairs, it is safe to avoid long skirts because they are dragged. I often saw people dragging. Digression It seems that the washlet of the men's toilet did not stop (bitter smile). (Original) 連休中だったこともあり結構な人出。アルコール消毒あり、体温チェック無し。前後の人との距離も近く、注意喚起なし。 撮影に使われるだけあって、見ごたえはあるが入館料800円は高い気がする。 9月で館内は13度。寒がりの方は羽織るもの必須。前日の雨の影響か、外は晴れていても館内足元が悪く濡れているため、運動靴がおすすめ。また、階段が多いため、ロングスカートは引きずる為 避けた方が無難。引きずっている方をよく見かけた。 余談 男子トイレのウォシュレットが止まらなかったそうである(苦笑)注意。

(Translated by Google) It is fantastic and it is understandable that it is often used in PV and shooting sites (Original) 幻想的でPVや撮影現場で良く使われるのも納得

(Translated by Google) When I go for the first time, it exceeds my expectations It's not a pyramid, but you can have an unrealistic experience (Original) 初めて行くと 予想を超えてきます ピラミッドとまではいきませんが 非現実な体験が出来ます

(Translated by Google) It's a very fantastic place 😊 It's very cold inside, so it's recommended to go on a hot summer day! Also, girls should wear sneakers and petanko shoes. The inside of the building is quite slippery, and some people who wore heels 👠 slipped and fell down 😅 And it's very cold inside, so you should bring a cardigan or a light jacket. Also, after leaving the Oya Museum, there is a power spot for marriage called "Ai no Izumi" in the immediate vicinity. If you are going as a couple 👫, check it out ❣️ Finally, if you drive around, we recommend the following ❣️ Park your car at Oya Museum (← parking lot is large) → 🚶‍♂️ Heiwa Kannon on foot → Otani Temple → Benzaiten 🚶‍♀️ → 🚶‍♂️ Walk back to Oya Museum. (Total travel time: about 20 minutes. Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including visits) There are many tourist spots around Otani-ji Temple where the parking lot is narrow and the number of cars cannot be parked, and the road width is narrow, so when an oncoming vehicle arrives, there are some difficult roads unless it is a light car. .. Why don't you park your car at Oya Museum and take a leisurely stroll around the area? (Original) とても幻想的な場所です😊 中はとても寒いので、夏の暑い日に行くのがオススメ！ あと、女子は、スニーカーやペタンコ靴を履いていった方が良いですよ。 館内は、結構滑りやすくヒール👠を履いて来た方が滑って転んでしまった人もいたので😅 そして、中はとても寒いので、カーディガンや薄手のジャケットなどを持って行った方がいいですよ。 あと、大谷資料館を出て、すぐ近くに『愛の泉』なる縁結びのパワースポットもあります。 カップル👫で行かれる方は、そちらも『要チェック❣️』 最後に、もし車で周辺も行かれる場合には、以下がオススメ❣️ 大谷資料館に車を停めて（←駐車場が広い） → 🚶‍♂️徒歩で平和観音 → 大谷寺 → 弁財天 🚶‍♀️ →🚶‍♂️徒歩で大谷資料館へ戻る。 （合計移動時間：約20分。 拝観等も含めて、約2時間30分くらい） 大谷寺等周辺の観光スポットには、駐車場が狭く台数も停められない場所も多いのと、道幅も狭い所が多い為、対向車がきた時に、軽自動車でないと、なかなか難しい道もありました。 大谷資料館に車を停めさせて頂き、のんびり歩きながら周辺も散策してみてはいかがでしょう♬

(Translated by Google) A photogenic space. The photos inside go from here to see! It's cool inside, so don't forget to wear your outerwear in winter and wear something in summer. (Original) フォトジェニックな空間。中の写真はここで見るより行ってから！中は涼しいので、冬は上着を、夏は羽織るものをお忘れなく。

(Translated by Google) I was surprised that there was such a fantastic, mysterious and overwhelming place in such a place. I don't think children will be happy, but adults can go. I happened to find it on the net and found out that it was the place where my favorite artist shot the promotion, and I was deeply moved. I headed for it thinking that it might be somehow, and it was really good to go. By the way, the inside is very cold, so you should protect yourself from the cold. I got off the Utsunomiya interchange and it was a country road all the time, but suddenly there was a steak palace, and I wondered why, but apparently it was a shop for tourists here. There seems to be a popular Utsunomiya dumpling shop along the way, and there was a line in the corona whirlpool. (Original) こんなところにこんな幻想的で神秘的で圧倒的な場所があったのには驚きでした。子供は喜ばないと思いますが、大人は行ってもいいと思います。偶然ネットで見つけて、なんと私の大好きなアーティストがプロモを撮った場所だとわかり、感激でした。何となくそうかも〜と思いつつ向かい、行ってみてホントに良かった。因みに中はとても寒いので防寒はしっかりすべきです。宇都宮インターを降りてずっと田舎道なのに、突然ステーキ宮があり、何でだろうと思いましたが、どうやらこちらの観光客のためのお店でしたね。途中に宇都宮餃子の人気店もあるようで、コロナ渦の中、行列をつくっておりました。

(Translated by Google) This is amazing. The admission fee is 800 yen, but the value is priceless! The huge underground cavity after Ishikiri is similar to a scene from Indiana Jones. It seems that he has been sworn in movies and commercials. (Original) ここはすごい。入館料800円ですがその価値はプライスレス！　石切後の地下の巨大空洞はインディアナジョーンズのワンシーンにも似ています。 映画やコマーシャルなどにも誓われたことがあるようです。

(Translated by Google) It was a weekday, so it wasn't so crowded, but it seemed to be crowded with group guests from the middle, so I pulled it up early. The entrance was simple, but the inside was spacious and mysterious. (Original) 平日だったので、それ程混雑はしていませんでしたが、途中から団体客が来て密になりそうだったので、早々に引き上げてきました。入り口は質素な感じでしたが中は広々していて神秘的な感じでした。

great place to meet. easy parking. take a thin shirt because inside the caves the temperature is around 6 degrees.

The outside is beautiful but I enter the underground museum itself. There is a weird photo I have captured and it’s pretty cold. And I felt something and had a bad headache after the sightseeing.

Very unique destination!!! I was shocked by the size of the interior and the history behind everything. (Pro tip) - it is cold inside so bring a jacket.

The history and sheer scope of this place is amazing. However it is not a long experience, hour max for the whole tour and gift shop. I recommend having other locations to visit while in the area.

It was great to see a glimpse of mining history. The location is rather large, and that's just the parts open to public. It's also rather chilly, so bring a jacket. Depending on how much interest you have in history, spend 30-60 minutes in here easily.

3.5 stars It's a great place to visit during the hot summer. The whole tour only takes about 30 minutes so don't plan on it taking up a lot of your day. It's like a cave so it's really chilly and you might want to prepare a light windbreaker or jacket. It's amazing to imagine that people carried such heavy rocks on their backs. The cave was the location for many movie shootings or music videos and so on. Even Enya visited a few years ago, it seems? You should make this one part of your whole day itinerary. There is a nearby Stone Temple and a stone quarry also not too far away.

Beautiful history museum in utsunomiya. A definite visit to it’s place. It gets really cold inside, so please bring a jacket. They have nice souvenirs shops and ice cream shops outside. Definitely visit if you come near the utsunomiya in tochigi. They accept only cash for the entrance ticket of ¥800.

It was a lot of fun. There's also a free photo spot inside!

Pretty awsome place for tourists. This underground old stone mine has temperature around 7. Now they can use it for performance, car show etc.

Very large place underground. Super interesting. Can get very cold inside. The gelato was really good

An amazing place. Inside feels cold and freezing but has a feel of an old pyramid. Much amazing stuff to see inside.

A somewhat quirky spot for a foreign tourist, but glad I discovered this place on the drive back from Nikko. There is ample free parking and a short walk will take you to the cave entrance. Upon entry, there is a small museum with artifacts from when the cave was constructed. The real attraction however begins when you descend a staircase into the cool depths of the old quarry. Neutral and coloured lighting creates a mysterious scene, illuminating the scarred walls and exhibits scattered about. I ended up spending a decent amount of time here, exploring each nook and cranny as I went. Upon exit there is a shop and restaurant where you can buy Oya stone keepsakes, the very material which was mined from within. Definitely worth a look if passing by.

Wonderfully unique experience. A welcome break from the heat of summer. Bits of information are posted throughout the many caverns. Worth a quick visit if passing through the area or visiting Nikko.

Amazed to see how evething was done by hand. It was long under hills, you should wear some upper or jacket as there is cold inside when you spend more hour

It was breathtaking and mind blowing. The history behind this place is fascinating. Some staff are able to speak English and English pamphlets are provided. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

Beautiful place,you can ride by bus but I suggest on time because many people’s visit here.
