I have several question
1. Are Korean town shop (not the fresh market part) will still be open over 16.00??? Planning to check out the k-beauty and kpop shops.
2. When is the earliest time I can checked in my bag in KIX? I’m gonna fly with china eastern for context.
3. For the alp route is my 10 am departure from tateyama too tight for a tateyama – kureboko round trip? Specified the time because already booked the ticket.
