Kids and adults all love it! The newly built swing is 163.35 meters long and has been certified by Guinness World Records as the longest swing in the world.

Shimane Prefectural Lake Shinji Nature Museum Gobius
An interactive learning facility introducing creatures that live in Lake Shinji, Nakaumi Lagoon, and the rivers and brackish waters of Shimane Prefecture. A key feature is its exhibits, which focus not only on the characteristics of Lake Shinji and Nakaumi, two of Japan’s leading brackish lakes, but also on diverse aquatic environments including freshwater areas.
It’s an easy, relaxed place to walk through. It mainly introduces the ecology of Lake Shinji and freshwater fish.
The exhibits are clear and not too boring. If you take your time, you can finish in about an hour. It’s a great option for a gap in your itinerary or as a rainy-day backup plan.
Overall, it has a gentle, low-key vibe, so it feels just right for families with kids or anyone who wants a casual visit.

Hakodate Seikan Liaison Ship Memorial Museum Mashu-maru
The Hakodate Seikan Liaison Ship Memorial Museum Mashu Maru was built on the hull of the Tsugaru Maru (2nd generation), a liaison ship that served as the Seikan Liaison Ship and was known as the "bullet train" of the sea. After the ship ended its service in 1988, it was converted into an exhibition ship and opened to the public as a memorial ship, and later reopened in 2003 as the current Hakodate Seiko-Hakodate Liaison Ship Memorial Museum Mashu Maru.
You can learn about the ferry's structure and history through panels and videos. I really recommend this place! 🤣

Imperial Theatre
It was a private theater completed in March 1911 as Japan's first Western-style theater, led by businessmen and business leaders who were leading the country at the end of the Meiji period (1868-1912). Known by the nickname "Teigeki", it is also known as the first theater in Japan to show productions titled "musicals".
The magnificent Imperial Theatre in Marunouchi is awesome for watching shows. There are four different-sized stages that can move up and down, plus a rotating stage. Very cool!
