Yeah - the elementary school is a weak follow-on to the castle.

But the Ukiyoe museum.... and the scenery (Japan alps) all around... those are attractions that I really enjoyed

(... and IIRC, some of the less "impressive" attractions include... a museum showing the hard life of women in a silk factory in the 19th Century... and a restored law court of some kind with some painful looking thumb screws and so on).

... if you make it to the thumb screw display, it's time to move on.
