Akita Prefectural Museum of Agricultural Science

The Akita Prefectural Museum of Agricultural Science is a science museum in Daisen dedicated to agriculture. The exhibits present farming methods, historical equipment, and regional developments across multiple exhibition spaces with integrated research facilities.

The museum was established in 1991 as a commitment to preserve and document farming practices specific to Akita Prefecture. This founding allowed regional agricultural traditions to be systematically recorded and secured for the future.

The museum displays traditional farming equipment and techniques that reflect generations of local knowledge from Akita farming communities. Visitors can observe how these practices have been preserved and shared over time.

The museum sits about 15 minutes by bus or car from JR Omagari Station and is easy to reach. A visit allows you to explore the exhibitions at a relaxed pace and view the research facilities.

The museum operates a tropical greenhouse with hundreds of tropical and subtropical plant species that grow year-round. This greenhouse offers a surprising contrast to exhibits focused on temperate climates and local farming methods.
