    科学的なあれこれを息子に体験させようと訪問。 有料なのでシビアに見てやろうと思っていたが、コンテンツは豊富で飽きずに居られる。動作が微妙な物もあるが、終盤にはでんじろうプロダクションがプロデュースしたコンテンツ群で、楽しい印象でフィニッシュできる。展示室最後のボルダリングは科学ではないと思うが、息子は運動もたっぷりできて満足していたし、定期入場券購入も検討する。

Akita Areas

around-area-map

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
