    It was such a great experience to visit the place.. and the title of this review? yes, these were just few words from the Owner of the Museum that melted my heart. We had a face to face encounter...
  • 見ごたえあり秘境ミュージアム
    4.0 Reviewed : 2021.11.12
    山奥の秘境にある廃校になった小学校の体育館を利用したフィギュアミュージアム。訪れた日の企画展が、円谷プロのウルトラQ・ウルトラマンシリーズでどれもこれも懐かしく童心に帰り60歳代の高齢者でも充分堪能できました。EXPO70の太陽の塔の中の展示物フィギュアも思いで深かった。お子さんから高齢者まで楽しめる施設でした。
