Unlike other museums, the laboratory, specimen room, and fossil processing room are open to the public, allowing visitors to observe students and researchers at work—a unique feature of a university museum. The average tour takes about an hour.
While there aren't many exhibits, you can view dinosaur fossils, including replicas, making this a recommended spot for children who love dinosaurs.
Since the exhibits are scattered throughout the campus, first-time visitors should check out the brochure near the entrance.
The title photo shows a satellite exhibit displayed at the entrance on the first floor of Building A1. Building A can be reached by crossing the red bridge on the seventh floor of Building C2.
[Useful Concerns]
Please note that parking is via the East Gate (via the JGSDF Sangenya Garrison side) rather than the Main Gate. You can get a parking permit from the security guard at the east gate and park for free in the designated parking spaces. There is no parking lot at the main gate.
