easy to redeem ticket, the place is huge. there is a kids plaza with place for the kids to play separated for infant, toddlers and bigger kids, and there is a kids cafe too. for the mini train driving attractions, you need to download the railway app and win the time slot for the attraction. per entry for a family (3 person per train) is 600 yen. it's about 20 minutes per ride. one phone can get only 1 slot of the mini train ride. the exhibitions is big and really fun for train enthusiasts. there are other attractions such us VR (theres a fee) and diorama (free). all and all, it's a good experience.

a lovely hotel with a short walk to the station which can take you to Tokyo and from there anywhere else in Japan, the local area is also nice with plenty to see and do as there are many shopping malls close by.

Although it's an older hotel, it's also clean, and the staff are courteous, which I thought was good. If you have the impression that it's right in front of the station, it's a bit of a walk. However, if you walk well from the 2nd-floor rotary, it connects directly! The 2nd-floor entrance isn't open during late-night hours, so I ended up on the 1st floor...
