Why go
Admission is free, but advance online session booking is recommended. Walk-in capacity is limited to 10 people per session including adults and children, on a first-come basis, so entry is not guaranteed. The 'Pa-rongi' activity guide is given directly to children aged 6–13; the exhibition can be challenging for preschoolers. Confirm remaining booking slots and any temporary restrictions on the official site.
