Adjacent to the Genbudo Caves, giant hexagonal basalt columns created by volcanic activity 1.6 million years ago, this museum focuses on the history of stones and the Earth. The collection of minerals and fossils gathered from all over the world is breathtakingly beautiful, and you’ll be fascinated by the artistic beauty created by the Earth over hundreds of millions of years. In particular, the explanation about the major discovery (reversal of magnetic poles) that changed the history of magnetics discovered here is very interesting and satisfies scientific intellectual curiosity. In addition, you can experience wickerwork, which is the root of the local traditional craft “Toyooka Kaban” (bags). It is a unique facility full of learning and emotion where natural wonders and human skills intersect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
