Review

これを道の駅と称するのは

Reviewed : 2021.11.03

大井川鐵道を見に行った際に立ち寄りました。道の駅の定義は知りませんが飲食も無く地元産品も殆ど無く、ただ有料の体験型施設があるだけです。千頭駅周辺は飲食店がほぼ無く、多くの方が飲食を求めてここに来て我々同様がっかりした様子ですぐに帰って行くのを見ました。施設自体は入場していないので良し悪しはわかりません。
音をテーマにした美術館です

千頭駅のバスの待ち時間をつぶすために入りました。中は、音についての様々なしかけが、展示されており、なかなか、楽しめました。
時間つぶし

大井川鐵道の時間待ちに入りました。大人500円です。値段と比べてやや高めの印象をもちましたが時間つぶしにはよいと思います。
