You guys must buy the ice cream. Absolutely delicious! My tour guide said this is best milk ice cream after the Hokkaido. That’s true🍦✨ 💛

Beautiful village with thatched houses. Doesn’t take too long to wonder around the village.
Make sure you visit some of the cafes and enjoy being inside one thatched houses.
Visited during mid September and it was still hot to walk around.
Shops there close at around four or five so visit early.
