Takaoka City Travel
๐๏ธ Takaoka City Art Museum The 2nd floor of the Takaoka City Art Museum features an exhibition on the life of Fujiko F. Fujio, showcasing the creative journey of the artist and the birth of "Doraemon." ๐ธ๐ The museum also screens a "Doraemon" animated film. Sitting with children to watch the animation, I felt awkward at first, but soon I was laughing along with them, experiencing a kind of relaxation I haven't felt in a long time! ๐ฌโจ ๐ซ Admission: 500 yen per person ๐ Transportation: Take the Manyo Line (22 minutes) or the Toyama Line (9 minutes) from Takaoka Station. For a scenic route, walk from Takaoka Station (about 20 minutes). ๐ Doraemon Tram: The Manyo Line tram between Takaoka and Namerikawa is themed around Doraemon. ๐ธ๐ The entire carriage is decorated with Doraemon-themed elements, making you feel accompanied by the beloved character throughout the journey. Not all trams have this theme, so check the schedule in advance if you want to ride one! ๐ ๐ณ Takaoka Fairy Tale Forest Park: Just a 20-minute walk from Shin-Takaoka Station, the park features a 1:1 replica of the Doraemon anime scene. I didn't visit the park myself, so I can't describe it in detail, but there are many notes online if you're interested. ๐ณ ๐ Coastal Rainy and Clear Weather: Takaoka is only about a 10-minute drive from the beautiful coast of Amano. ๐ธ๐ I've written a separate note about it, so feel free to check out #Amano for more. ๐ In the hometown of Doraemon, I fully immersed myself in the joy of childhood. ๐ธ๐ Who says adults can't understand the happiness of children? Big kids are still kids! ๐ #RomanticLifeRecorder #Doraemon
