This was definitely something new for me! Right next to the sand dunes, this museum puts up a new display every year. We were lucky enough to see the 2019 one, right after it opened. The sculptures are incredible. Just thinking about carving in sand, sent shivers of anxiety up and down my back. They have explanations, and the final product was mind blowing. Even more amazing (to the US mind), was the lack of barriers around the sand. I thought it was a mistake, but my guide said no. Japanese don't touch. There was a little sadness there, for me. As the Japanese welcome so many tourists, things are going to change. I found the Japanese like to have some things untouchable and unknowable - while my upbringing made me really want to touch one of those sculptures! (I didn't, of course.) The sculptures themselves are planned and done by an international team, which was also pretty cool.

Loved the manga characters, shopping and food on this delightful street! We took the free shuttle from our cruise ship into town and walked a couple blocks to this street. We had 10 of us in our family group and we all enjoyed it!

This is the very best place for a detective Conan fan. Inside the museum, there is a lot of original comic books work from Gosho Aoyama sensei. Also, a place to taking a picture with your favorite character. Moreover, there are a lot of original souvenirs that fan must-have.
