Rainy day things to do around Hakuba/Omachi

I was planning on going the Tateyama Alpine route and Hakuba Happo-One late next week when I am in the area. However, current forecast is that it may be cloudy and rainy on those days. I understand things may or may not change, especially with mountain weather. I'm wondering if there are rainy day alternatives in the area that might be recommended. I suppose Matsumoto would be the logical choice. Not sure if there are other things I'm missing.

Unless it is a safety issue or torrential downpour I recommend braving it and getting out in the rain with a raincoat umbrella and if you have them some waterproof shoes.
I had two fairly rainy days on my trip I just returned from and they were some of the more memorable days despite the moderate misery of being slightly wet. One day was in Inujima/ Takamatsu followed by a day on Naoshima/ Osaka. The rain in Inuiima made it atmospheric and I really enjoyed visiting Inujima Seirinsho in the rain. The rain had let up by the time I arrived at Takamatsu Ritsurin and it was nice seeing the garden following the rain.

Thank you. The wasabi farm was on our shortlist. I haven't actually gone into the Matsumoto city museum before. The forecast currently says cloudy so I may take the chance getting into Happo-one and Tateyama Kurobe. Doesn't seem like there is much of a chance for sun at this point. Will have to wait until 2-3 days before still. I know the alpine route has some live webcams, but it seems hard to tell the forecasted conditions. I'm looking at the cities/villages mainly such as from Hakuba, Matsumoto, Takayama. https://tenki.jp/forecast/3/23/4810/20485/10days.html
