Totally enjoyed this park where the bears are so active. The duck race is quite funny.
It’s a great place to visit. I won a duck race 😎 and fed a bear. Bears are just amazing and very polite. There is a museum about bears and a village with old houses. You can write a letter and draw a picture for a bear. Also, there are great views, and there is a plush bear in every rope cabin. Definitely worth visiting.

The exterior is a European castle, with few people. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large touch screen area with sea urchins, starfish, sea cucumbers, and rays. The museum is not big, but it is very warm inside. There is also a sea lion and turtle area outside the museum, but we didn't see it during the penguin parade. The gashapon machine at the door was broken, and the staff was super persistent and repaired it for a long time, insisting that we spin it out.
This marine park is very near Noboribetsu JR just one bus stop away or even can walk from Noboribetsu JR station which takes around 15-20 mins. You can watch different attractions according to the scheduled time, like penguin parade, sealion and dophine show. Is cute to watch penguins parade as the penguins are walking very near us.

No.4 of Best Things to Do in Noboribetsu
Highlights:
Ninja & samurai houses experience
94 wooden buildings showcase Edo era

A "village" with a strong Edo-era style. The buildings inside are undoubtedly interesting for tourists who like Japanese Warring States culture, but they are limited to buildings. With the blessing of the snow, the scenery can be given 4.5+, but it may only be 4 points on weekdays.
But it is very interesting. There are many interesting small projects in the village to experience, such as the monster house, ninja experience and other free projects, and other projects that can be experienced for 500 yen. Not only that, there are four performances of three different themes of "Ninja, Samurai, and Oiran" every day, and the time of each round can just connect. For me personally, the fun of the performance is: Samurai> Ninja> Oiran, but they are all interesting. After all, these performances are already included in the ticket. You can experience the culture of the Edo period in person, which is worth the trip.
The biggest disadvantage is the price. The price of 159 per adult is really a bit expensive. Although it may be because of the high prices in Japan, it is indeed expensive. After the overall visit, including watching three performances, it is only about 2 hours, which is slightly not worth it. Therefore, it is recommended that tourists who are not history fans/Japanese Warring States fans should consider carefully.
I was traveling alone and did not have the opportunity to take photos. If you are traveling as a couple, I recommend renting a set of clothes in the park to take some beautiful photos for your girlfriend. I believe she will be very happy (
A wonderful cultural village with ninja, samurai. It’s also exceptionally beautiful place for taking photos. Do download the web coupon for some discounts. Best to enter in the morning because it will take more than 5 hours to go through the village and shows. Parking is 500 Yen.Visited on a Monday and it was not that crowded , There is a direct bus from Noboribetsu station.Nice cultural village, it was very educational and fun.
