Destination updates

Hello from Bali! Although Bali is still a disaster in Corona, many hotels now sell "Day Pass" where you can enjoy swimming pools and meals. It is popular with residents because it is possible to use the hotel pool at a special price of around 1,000 yen if it is cheap. Schools are still online, so parents with children often use it to dissipate their children's excess physical strength. The staff and services of the hotel staff are still very good, and you can welcome them as guests instead of residents, so adults can have a refreshing and enjoyable time.
