JNTO Staff Comments:
The whole concept of this miniature theme park is very interesting and a really good attracting point for people who love Sailor Moon and Neon Genesis Evangelion, the 2 real classic Japanese animes. Even if your clients are not anime fans, this are also other miniature world areas where those who like miniature, figures, mechanical things, etc. will be happy to visit!
Besides, getting a miniature of themselves as souvenir is also something that is very special, not to mention that you can also decorate your one-of-a-kind miniature globe here! |

JNTO Staff Comments:
Although we are unable to visit the Sapporo Olympic Museum during the inspection trip (museum under renewal renovation), we had a very relaxing and satisfying time spent at Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium and Nouvelle Pousse Restaurant.
Having delicious French fine dining dishes in our hands while admiring the beautiful snowy white jump ramp view along with the great hospitality provided by the restaurant staffs, the whole thing was fantastic! |

JNTO Staff Comments:
Noboribetsu Date Jidaimura is a perfect place for incentive groups and even educational groups to hold activities. Treasure hunt, stamp rally race or scavenger hunt are quite nice to be held in this Edo village.
Also, if you have more time to spend here, make sure to arrange your members for the ninja shows or outdoor action shows. They also insert funny facts into serious battles and trick machineries which will make you LOL. |
