This place is a real time thief!” (In the best way possible!)
“This place is a real time thief! It’s so much fun, I could play here forever and completely lose track of time.”
Yesterday, we received such a wonderful compliment from a guest who was deeply focused on playing Kendama.
Next to them, others were absorbed in spinning Koma (spinning tops) or listening to the satisfying “clack” of Daruma Otoshi.
