These puzzles are not just ordinary puzzles but they are riddles that unlocks the next location of a bomb . ( I shall not tell any more details since it will spoil the fun ). Review Now the concept isn't something really new. We just have enough bites on our plate with these type of dramas. I've seen wanted criminals/terrorist ga

Getting There: Taijiri Jinja   We did not wait for the next bus to arrive as the interval for the next bus is quite long ( You have to wait for at least 1 hour before the next bus to arrive).  From google map ( having done previous research), it did say it was just a 2km walk ( but of course it did not mention that there will be an uphill climb)  So we walked along the road and saw some Free! posters along the way.
