    Dodam Sambonga Cauldron Hand Tofu

    Walk to Dodam Sambonga Cauldron Hand Tofu for breakfast. This restaurant is located near the shooting theme park area, offering a warm meal of tofu dishes to start your day. The view from here is also noted as good, allowing you to continue enjoying the morning atmosphere.

Local tip

The restaurant opens at 08:00. On the winter solstice (January 15), sunrise is at 07:38, so you will have time for breakfast immediately after. In summer (July 15), sunrise is at 05:18, meaning you will need to eat before or bring something with you, as the restaurant is not open at 05:18.
