    This is a railroad theme park located in Annaka City’s Matsuida Town established on the site of the former JR Yokokawa Locomotive Depot rail yard. The main attraction is the locomotive engineer experience in which visitors can drive a real 108-ton electric locomotive (reservation required). Inside the park is a Railway Museum where visitors can learn about the history of the now-abandoned Usui Line and the Railway Display Hall which houses more than 30 valuable train cars.

    神流町恐竜センターという名前からはどんな施設なのかわかりにくいと思います。神流町立自然史格物館という名前の方がフィットすると思います。入場料は800円で、本館と別館の2つの建物に恐竜や化石に関する資料が展示されていました。本物の化石や恐竜のレプリカが想像していた以上に展示されていて、とても楽しめました。ただ富岡市にある群馬県立自然史博物館と比べると展示が少ないのに入場料が高いのは気になりました。館...

    蚕の生態や製糸に関する展示や絹を使った作品の展示など、シルク全般につい展示している施設です。自分のペースで見学したかったのですが、展示館に入った途端に説明員のおじさんが寄ってきました。説明を聞くのをお断りしたところ、人を馬鹿にするようような惨い言葉を吐き捨てられました。とても不愉快でしたが、このような傲慢な人を相手にしてもしょうがないので、無視をして見学しました。説明を聞きたい人にだけ説明し、説明...
