⏳ Nima Sand Museum✨ I went to the Nima Sand Museum! It has one of the world's largest hourglasses, and sand slowly falls over the course of a year. I was impressed by its size and beauty. There are many sand-related exhibits in the museum, so you can enjoy it and forget about time. I was particularly interested in the sand art and exhibits that collected sand from various places. It's a perfect spot for families and couples, and there are many ideas that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. You can experience sand painting✌ At the souvenir shop, you can buy miniature hourglasses and local specialties☺️ In addition, there are beautiful views in the surrounding area, so it's recommended to take a leisurely stroll after visiting the museum.

The world's largest hourglass was really big!! My second son was worried that the hourglass would fall😅 The children had fun learning while watching, touching, and playing with the singing sand, sand objects, and sand from around the world😊 You can also experience glass crafts if you make a reservation. I actually wanted to buy an hourglass as a souvenir, but I was worried that the glass would break, so this time I made a clear candle✨ It turned out so cute that the children were delighted❣️ [Nima Sand Museum] 📍975 Tenkawachi, Nima-cho, Oda-shi, Shimane Prefecture 🚗Free parking available #Domestic travel #Nima Sand Museum #Tourism #Outing with kids #Shimane tourism #Shimane
