Abiko City Museum of Birds

Abiko City Museum of Birds is an ornithological museum in Kōnoyama focused on local bird species from Tega Marsh and specimens from around the globe. The exhibits showcase different avian families and their characteristics through displays and specimens.

The museum opened on May 20, 1990, as a research and education center for bird conservation in Chiba Prefecture. It has since become an important place for learning about local ecosystems and wetland habitats.

The Coot serves as the official bird symbol, reflecting how deeply local residents connect with the wetlands and wildlife around them. This choice shows what matters to people in this region.

The museum is located in Kōnoyama and opens Tuesday through Sunday with afternoon closing times. Plan your visit for midday to have enough time to view the exhibits and explore the outdoor marsh area.

The museum connects indoor exhibits directly to access to Tega Marsh, where visitors can observe living birds in their natural wetland environment. This setup lets you move between classroom learning and real-world watching.
