Finally
With experiences at railway facilities that are usually off-limits, drone operation, and more, it sounds like a pretty special two-day program〜! It could be a great chance to support your child’s “I want to try that!” while making summer vacation memories. Since the program starts and ends at JR Ashiya Station, it’s easy to access, and you can also request optional transportation to and from home, which is reassuring〜!
