Very suitable for children to come to the first floor of the museum, there are many different kinds of trains, and there is also a hangar of the old railway station for visiting. The museum also shows the style of Japanese stations in different eras, and the place where railway fans must come. Especially recommended for the restaurant on the second floor, there are seats facing the railway outside the window, you can watch the tram while eating

The Ryukyu Islanders in Okinawa were descendants of Polynesian immigrants and former Japanese populations, belonging to the South Island area of Kyushu before the Southern Song Dynasty, and later became independent of the Ryukyu Kingdom. China's Ming Dynasty quoted Taiwan's old list of rulers to be the king of Ryukyu, hundreds of years after Ryukyu separated the Kyushu mainland, a trade hub for neighboring countries because of waterways. By the end of the 19th century, the Ryukyu State had been recaptured by Samoto of Kagoshima. In 1879, after the Meiji Reconstruction, the Ryukyu State was incorporated into Japan, and Okinawa Prefecture was established the same year. After World War II, the United States occupied it. In 1972, the United States returned the Ryukyu Islands to Japan.

The Equality Academy Museum Fengxiang Hall is a walk away. The World Cultural Heritage Equality Academy is worth seeing, and photography is not allowed inside. The Equality Academy is on the ten yuan coin, and the Phoenix on the 10,000 yen is the Phoenix of the Equality Academy. Worth a look ~

The admission fee of 600 yen is very cheap, so you can walk in and experience it. After buying the ticket, take the elevator to the 1st floor, from the top to the bottom, and watch the development of history from ancient to present. Unfortunately, it is mainly Japanese, and there are not many explanations in English. I can only look at the flowers and read it again.

Parent-child travel with children to play, picky baby immediately fell in love with Tokyo. There is a Chinese and English explanation for the scan at the door, so it is better to bring headphones. With the explanation and display of martyrdom, people have learned about Fujiko F Bujixiong and his related works. It is worth mentioning that his works are mixed with his love of Chinese culture, Sun Wukong, China Dinosaur Exhibition, etc., so that children not only understand the creation of Japanese cartoonists, There will also be a good influence on Chinese culture. In addition to this, there is a 90th anniversary movie, about 15 minutes. Afterwards, I walked directly into the small outdoor space from the front of the curtain. The outdoor layout was colorful and anime characters. If it was sunny weather, it was great to take pictures! At noon, lunch can be served in the museum-related restaurant. Lunch is integrated into the elements of Fujiko F's work. I shared the memory bread with my children. I hope our memory is becoming clearer and longer. With good wishes, we took the Fujiko F Bujixiong car on the return journey, the car also made a careful design, can not help but sigh the Japanese memorial hall's comprehensive! Great love, Fujiko F Bujixiong Museum!

It was an amazing place in Shin-Yokohama.I don’t know the exact Showa Period but it was totally the same as my image.You can eat various Ramen if you want there!!There are also mini-size of Ramen so you can eat two or three types of Ramen and compare them.However, you only can use 'cash' there except when you buy some souvenirs at the shop.
