    Yamaguchi Prefecture Shimonoseki City Ikaport 6-1
    The Shimonoseki Marine Science Museum, affectionately known as “Kaikyokan,” is an aquarium in the Karato district of Shimonoseki City which opened in 2001. The Museum is famous for its collection of over 100 species of Fugu (Pufferfish) from all over the world and for its exhibit of a complete skeleton of a Blue Whale. Must-sees include the “Humboldt Penguin Special Conservation Area,” where visitors can observe a recreation of the habitat of the Humboldt Penguin, which lives in areas with a warm climate, and performances featuring dolphins and sea-lions.

    Shimonoseki is famous for puffer fish. But I cant remember seeing so many species of puffer fish in an aquarium. In general, an enjoyable visit.

    下関駅からバスを利用して行きました。 野外彫刻なども展示してあります。 「海峡、交差するまち 下関の作家たち」 展が開催されてました。長府藩の時代から現代までの下関ゆかりの作家を展示してました。また、人も少なかったので ゆっくりできました○

    These grounds are a museum of ruins near Doigahama Beach, and the area is preserved as Doigahama Yayoi Park. The ruins, roughly 9,500 square meters wide, have produced human bones, pottery, burial goods, and many other excavation items, which are on display in the museum. They also have events like Excavation Events, where you can try excavating bones and shell rings, and Shell Ring Making.

    ずっと、いつか行きたいと思っていました、やっと実現しました。 周りに人も車も少なく、定休日かと思いましたが、やってました。 大変、分かりやすく展示されており、小学生の娘も興味深く見学してました。 ビデオ上映や、ボタンを押して音声が流れるような説明のものが、多くありました。 レストランもありましたが、そこは少し微妙だったのでやめました。

    "This museum is next to the Ayaragigo ruins. It displays about 500 pieces from the Yayoi and Kofun periods excavated from below Shimonoseki Castle. They have recreated life-size dioramas of ""storage pits"" and display materials connected to excavation and archaeology in the Regional Education Room. They also run tours and excursions around the Ayaragigo ruins. The grounds outside are built as a ruin park, with restored dugout shelters and kofun burial mounds for viewing."

    前日からの萩観光を終え、日本海側を下関経由で北九州空港にレンタカーで戻る途中で見学しました。石器や土器が陳列されているだけの資料館が多い分野ですが、ここは工夫した明るい展示で楽しめました。

    長州の歴史が展示しています。壇ノ浦やお城のミニチュアも見られますよ。館内のスペースは狭いので割と短時間で見回ることが出来ます。館内はフラッシュを使用しない限り撮影可です。

    ９月に家族で訪問しました。しぜん館は地元に由来する展示内容で、鳥、貝、クジラなど規模感は小さいけどそれなりに興味深く見ました。その後、車を駐車したまま、目の前の海で遊びましたが、水がまだあたたかく、海パンを持参すべきだったと後悔しました。白い砂浜に人はまばらで、のんびり時間を過ごしました。

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
