“Amazing museum, unique in all ways”

3 Chome-1-53 Takigashira, Isogo Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 235-0012, Japan

“No, I'm surprised. It was extremely fulfilling. I went on a weekday, so I was able to take my time to see it, but it seems to be crowded on weekends. It was nice to be able to ride a real streetcar, but there were so many exhibit panels that I didn't have enough time to read them all. The driving simulation was surprisingly difficult! Adults can also enjoy it.”

Agamachi, Kure, Hiroshima 737-0922, Japan

“You can see a panoramic view of Kure city from the observation deck. There are places where the road gets narrow, so you need to be careful when driving.”

“It's a big museum, where you can learn about Hyogo's nature. If you are interested, please come by.I didn't know where to park, so I rented a car at a shopping mall and went shopping on my way home.”

424番地 Yamagawa, Motobu, Kunigami District, Okinawa 905-0205, Japan

“This place is very underrated and underpriced. It’s located in the same area as the aquarium so it gets overshadowed. If you only want to visit this place without going through the aquarium, you can do that as well. The entrance fee is only ¥180 for adults and kids are free. If you like history this is a good place to visit. If you’re Pacific Islander, this whole museum is dedicated to the Pacific Islands. There’s a planetarium in there with different showing times. It’s all in Japanese but they give out headphones so you can follow along with a translation in the language of your choice ( they have English, Korean, Chinese etc..). Overall a great experience. Overall a very interesting and great visit.”

“The mayonnaise sold here is amazing 👏”

1-18 Minookoen, Minoh, Osaka 562-0002, Japan

“This Insectarium was the biggest surprise on our trip. When we first went in, we didn't expect much and the entrance fee of 230yen (~1,8€) per person was totally cheap, but then we went into the museum and saw well maintained terrariums and a beautiful butterfly garden. It is really worth stopping by this place when heading towards the Mino waterfalls.”

Japan, 〒440-0897 Aichi, Toyohashi, Matsubacho, 3 Chome−１−1 豊橋市こども未来館図書コーナー

“I visited when the coronavirus had subsided a little. When I asked for a manhole card at the counter, I was told that they weren't handing it out due to the coronavirus. Hey, we're holding an event! There are other parents and children coming too! Why!? At least write it on your website. Even though I didn't accomplish my purpose, I paid for the parking lot and left. If your child does not use the facility, parking will not be free even if you show them your parking ticket.”
