Swamp Tourist Center

The Swamp Tourist Center is a location in Majora's Mask. Situated right at the entrance of the Southern Swamp, it is open 24 hours a day, and it is where the Pictograph Contest is held. Koume, Kotake's sister, works here as the Boat Cruise attendant, where people can make their reservations to ride a boat cruise around the swamp. However, since Koume has gone missing in the Woods of Mystery, the reservations are currently on hold.

Once Koume is rescued by Link, she returns to operate the Swamp Boat Tour. There, she gives Link a free ride on the swamp boat for saving her in the Woods of Mystery; moreover, she hands him a Picto Box as part of a promotion the Tourist Center has going on. Riding on the swamp boat, Link is able to pass the Big Octos that block certain bottlenecks in the swamp, allowing access to the Deku Palace before acquiring the Bow and Arrow from Woodfall Temple. Once the curse has been lifted from Southern Swamp and the water is no longer poisoned, Koume opens a target-shooting minigame in which Link can win a Piece of Heart by hitting a target twenty or more times with arrows as Koume flies around the swamp, though Link will fail the minigame if he hits Koume more than five times.

The Swamp Pictograph Contest also operates from the Swamp Boat Tour hut, but only until the curse on the Woodfall Temple is lifted, at which time Koume opens her minigame. The contest is for humans only, and only pictographs taken inside the swamp are accepted. If Link shows a picture of either the Deku King or Tingle to the guide holding the contest, he will win another Piece of Heart.
