    Okayama Pref. Kasaokashi Yokoshima 1946-2
    Kasaoka Horseshoe Crab Museum is located in Yokoshima in the city of Kasaoka. It contains a large aquarium where visitors can observe adult horseshoe crabs. The museum also contains exhibits about raising juvenile horseshoe crabs and an exhibit of dinosaur skeletons. Adjacent to the museum are Dinosaur Park, which contains models of dinosaurs, and athletic field, and a nature observation park with a horseshoe crab breeding ground.

    建物や展示室の構造は バブルを思わせる 豪華なそれでありました また恐竜の展示が非常に多く恐竜館ではないのかと思うほどです。 肝心のカブトガニについてはきちんと展示はしているのですが その数は非常に少なくもっと置いて欲しいと思います。 目の前には大きな公園がありそこも恐竜一色でした。 少し お金の使い方が間違ってるのではないかと 思いました。 ただ全体としては 面白い博物館でした。

    Okayama Kasaoka-shi Yamaguchi 1457-8

    日本の古き良き時代を感じることができる観光スポットです。機関車といえば力強く黒い煙を吐きながら走るイメージが強いと思いますが、機関車もとても小さくて可愛らしいです。と一緒に訪れるととても楽しいと思いますよ。

Okayama Areas

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
