Top Culture in Tohoku

I suggest getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. You'll beat the crowds and get some great photos without a lot of people in the background!

I think the ticket price is really reasonable for what you get. However, if you're on a budget, try to eat lunch at a local convenience store instead of restaurants nearby to save some cash

Plan to spend at least 3 hours here. I thought I could rush through it, but ended up wishing I had more time to soak it all in. Take your time!

I highly recommend giving yourself at least 3-4 hours to explore. There’s a ton to see and do, and some exhibits are definitely worth taking time to enjoy fully.

I suggest checking for specific sand sculpture exhibitions online before you go. I missed a seasonal showcase, and it looked amazing from the pictures I saw afterward!

My advice is to budget some extra time. The sculptures are huge and well-detailed, so you might find yourself taking way more photos than you planned!

I suggest checking the weather before you go. It's an outdoor vibe, and you’ll want to avoid rainy days if you can. Trust me, soggy sand sculptures won’t impress you!
