The only horseshoe crab museum in Japan located in Kasaoka.
Horseshoe crabs are living creatures that have remained in their original form from 200 million years ago, even before the age of the dinosaurs, and you can learn about their unique ecology.

In the park outside the museum, there are many life-size dinosaur objects that are popular with children.
There are benches in the shade of the trees in the park, so it is a recommended spot for families with children.

The museum also has replicas of dinosaur fossils.
