3月でも蒸し暑く、ペットボトルの水は必須です。虫がいるので長袖、長ズボンを推奨するコメントを読んだ事がある気がしますが、半袖、半ズボンの人も多かったです。 虫除けスプレーをしておけば、半袖半ズボンでもいいかもしれません。 トイレはチケットブースの左側と右側のレストランの横にあります。レストラン側のトイレの方が綺麗でお勧めです。 遺跡に向かうためにカートに乗りますが、カートは頻繁に走っているので、行きも帰りもそれほど待つこともなく乗れます。カートに乗ってしばらく進んだPubkic Stageの近くにもトイレがあります。 遺跡は主に以下の5つのグループに分かれています。 グループA,A' グループBCD グループEF グループG グループH マップては時計回りで回るよう記載されていますが、メインとなるグループBCDは見たほうがいいのでカートを降りて真っ直ぐ進むのがいいと思います。 ツアーなどで帰りの時間が決まっている場合には、チケットブース右側のレストランで飲み物を飲みながら待つといいです。クーラーが効いていて快適に待つことができます。
