Mifune Dinosaur Museum

The Mifune Dinosaur Museum displays fossil collections and life-sized dinosaur replicas across multiple exhibition halls dedicated to paleontological discoveries.

The museum began its operations in 1998, establishing itself as a research center for studying the numerous dinosaur fossils discovered in the Kumamoto Prefecture region.

Japanese schoolchildren regularly participate in educational programs at the museum, learning about prehistoric life through interactive fossil excavation activities.

Visitors can access the museum facilities, including a gift shop with educational materials and a café, through accessible pathways designed for all mobility levels.

The museum contains geological specimens from the surrounding area, where researchers continue to uncover new dinosaur remains in the fossil-rich formations.
