The last thing I'm worried about when I'm planning to go out is the weather. Indoor facilities can relieve you from such worries. How you enjoy it depends on your plan, such as art galleries and museums related to the area, hot springs with a rich local flavor, and factory tours. Why not plan some indoor leisure time with your family or as a couple?
