Not a bad word to say. Plenty of English, friendly staff, good gift shop, wonderfully designed building to look like a giant dinosaur egg. Really enjoyable for all of the family. Highly recommended - look out for Fukui`s own dinosaurs, first found just by the site of the museum itself. More

I went there with my all 4 children . My eldest son (13 years old) is a dinosaur fan.

It is a must go to see place for dinosaur lovers . You'd better take a Taxi from Katsuyama... More
