Chico's porch corner

The "Chiko-chan Engawa Corner" is a reproduction of the set of the popular TV show "Chiko-chan ni Shikarareru!" You can take commemorative photos with Chiko-chan and Kyoe-chan.

You can sit and relax on the porch or take off your shoes and go inside.

He was also very curious about seeing a real black telephone for the first time. We were also able to touch it.

Even the mailboxes and other small items are realistically reproduced, and you can feel the attention to detail in every corner of the set. It seems like you'll be immersed in the Showa retro world of Chico-chan.

Manekko Domo-kun

With "Manekko Domo-kun," you stand on the foot mark and move your body while watching the monitor, and "Domo-kun" will start moving in the same way.

When the poses written below the monitor are performed, hearts and beams also appear along with sound effects.

It's a simple game, so even small children can play it. I'm sure they'll have a good reaction to seeing themselves on the screen.

You can also try out the chromakey experience, which allows you to enjoy composite images that make you feel like you're inside Domo-kun's house.

Exciting Studio

"Wakuwaku Studio" lets you experience the visuals of a live NHK program. The quality is so high you'd never guess it was a composite image.

The manuscript is also projected on the monitor in front of the you, so he tried to look at the camera as if he was the anchor. He looked at it in wonder as if he was in a real studio on the screen.

The large camera was also actually used. It would be fun to play as your friends and family and make a TV program.

The "Exercise Square" is where you can sing and do exercises with the older brothers and sisters from "Okaasan to Issho."

There are also spots where you can take commemorative photos with the Fantane characters from "Okaasan to Issho" and Wanwan from "Inai Inai Baa!"
