It was super cool and everything you need is included. It's perfectly designed. Some of the directions though can be confusing if you've never built a big Lego set or Ikea furniture. But overall, I loved it. Not everyone can build this but if you're creative, meticulous, and patient, you'll have a blast.

Had a great time building this to surprise my wife. She is Taiwanese and loves it!

I got this Train Cabin Book Nook for my dad when he was going through cancer treatment out of state and needed something to keep him occupied when he wasn't feeling well. This puzzle came in handy since he loves to build things and work with wood.

I was so excited when I got this Ginzan Onsen book nook in the mail—I thought it would go great with my fantasy books, and boy does it fit the vibe. It came extremely well packaged and with all the equipment. The print job is decent, though the wood did have a burnt smell to it that was odd. I'm assuming it's from a laser that was most likely used to cut it, but still a bit off-putting. Airing it out helped a lot. The original price is a bit high in my opinion.

The puzzle wasn’t as hard as I expected. I’ve done about thirty of these puzzles before, so I had fun with it. I limited myself to an hour a day, or I would have finished it in about two days.

Ginzan Onsen creates a beautiful, working model that complements any display. It’s very time-consuming to assemble, making it a cost-effective activity. I have enjoyed every minute working on this model.

Loved my train cabin book nook. It took about 4 days to assemble everything and let the glue dry. I needed to work without my contact lenses in, as it required a lot of close-up precision work. Being short-sighted actually helped!

This was so much fun, but tedious. From the looks of it, it was overwhelming, but once you get started, the tediousness doesn't matter. Assembling the motor was very hard for me, but I found a helpful YouTube video. The directions are mostly pictures with a little writing.

This Ginzan Onsen book nooklooks amazing! I’m planning on bringing it on a girls trip for us to work on during our downtime. I wasn’t expecting all these little things from the photos advertised. Looks like many hours of fun!

I am an experienced modeler, and this model took me four days to assemble. This is a level five model with 500+ parts. Personaly, I loved all the challenges that this model presents. All-in-all a great model for an experienced modeler. Not for a novice.

We loved this kit. There were a few issues with the electrical wires. They were not connected properly to the lights so we had to resolder them to get it to work properly. Otherwise, it was a well designed kit.

I purchased this Ginzan Book Nook for my wife, and it had lots of Spirited Away themes in it. Yes, it was difficult for her, but her patience won out. The kit is beautifully designed, albeit a little too precise in various areas. She enjoyed it tremendously and is looking forward to the next one.

I love how the Ginzan Onsen turned out with all its details. It did take a lot of time and effort (several days). You definitely need a miniature tool kit (long tweezers, small pliers, exacto knife) and different types of glue (super glue, tacky glue, model adhesive). I also used black electrical tape for the wiring because the adhesive tape that came with it wasn’t that great.

So! First off, I love the aesthetic and how my model turned out. However I must admit that this was by far the most difficult model I have ever built.

I ordered this for the lady of the house because she had built a similar model before and thoroughly enjoyed it. Most importantly, it kept her quiet for hours over several days. Very therapeutic for her.

This design is just amazing, and the attention to detail is mind-blowing! Can't wait to add my personal touch with some paint and make it a standout on my bookshelf. Although there was a little damage in shipping, Anavrin was able to resolved it.

It’s like an easy 3D puzzle. Both the journey and the destination are fantastic. If you enjoy reading fantasy novels, this is a must-have. Kids absolutely LOVE it. Highly recommended!

Still waiting for a reply from customer support for instructions to assemble part numbers 205 and 207 that are omitted from the manual and not well shown in the video. These parts are needed to make the door sound.

This came fast and was a joy to assemble! It's going to look great on my bookshelf. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered a second one for my sister.

I encountered an issue with a few of the sliced sections not quite matching the visuals. I simply filled out their replacement form, and Carol helped me get replacements for these parts. I will definitely continue shopping here at Anavrin.

This was actually more customizable than I anticipated, and the directions were not insanely difficult at all. It's not a kid's project for sure, but a teen could follow along. I’m 29 and had to ask for help from my hubby a few times lol, but it was manageable 👏
