In the park, you can visit <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/gvCmXbpBi2K7g9d58\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/gvCmXbpBi2K7g9d58\" target=\"_blank\">Satsuki and Mei&#8217;s house<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/j1ERH6ptHGGB736S7\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/j1ERH6ptHGGB736S7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in the park<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The house has been recreated in extraordinary detail. You sign up for a time slot and they give you a tour. That, however, is where similarities to other tours end. Unlike normal recreated gems like this, the tour allows you to open drawers, Mei&#8217;s backpacks, look in books and really explore the space. They have a strict no photography policy &#8211; which I think is great as it probably makes you really enjoy the space more instead of focusing on the perfect Instagram shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
