Journey to Jurassic Japan

The museum was built near the Kitadani excavation site, where many Japanese dinosaurs such as Fukuiraptor, Fukuisaurus and Koshisaurus were discovered. With a modern aluminum dome design standing out among the lush green mountains and forests, the building makes a strong impression at first sight.

The museum is spacious and divided into three main areas: Dinosaur World, Life History and Earth Science . The highlight is more than 40 fully reconstructed dinosaur skeletons, including famous species such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops and Stegosaurus. Robotic dinosaur models also help to vividly recreate their characteristics and actual sizes.

The museum also has a fossil excavation experience area where visitors, especially children, can transform into "little archaeologists" and learn directly about excavation and paleontological research. Not only is it a place for exhibitions, it is also a center for scientific research, international cooperation and regularly organizes specialized seminars.

With a harmonious combination of knowledge, technology and practical experience, the Fukui Dinosaur Museum not only opens the door to explore the mysterious prehistoric world but also inspires a passion for science for all ages. This is a destination not to be missed for visitors when setting foot in the Hokuriku region, northwest of Honshu Island - the main island of Japan.
