Also, there are various interactive multimedia screens, with which visitors can play games or take selfies to record their wonderful memories. In addition, online bonus quizzes were prepared for visitors, who can receive souvenirs after their visits. It’s really a great chance for them to share wonderful moments with families and friends.
