Doraemon's Vacant Lot, Takaoka Otogi no Mori Park

Takaoka, Toyama, Japan

A city park where the empty lot from Doraemon is recreated, with the characters standing in it; you can walk in among them, or look down on the scene from the observation tower in the park's Otogi no Mori-kan. The grounds and the parking are free and open at any hour, while the indoor buildings run 9:00-17:00 and close on Tuesdays. It is about 7 km from the station, so pair it with a bus or a taxi.

Please be a considerate guest: keep your voice down, keep paths clear and leave the place as you found it.
