For foreign visitors to Japan, several parts of the explanatory panels of the museum are written in English so that they can understand the contents of the exhibits. Visitors will also receive an original sticker when they present the screen of their social networking post in a foreign language at the museum reception desk. Furthermore, visitors can receive discounts and other benefits by visiting both the tourist farm “Nasu Senbonmatsu Farm” and museum. We are working to help foreign visitors to Japan learn about Japanese culture and history through sightseeing in Nasunogahara.
