Toyohashi Museum of Natural History

Toyohashi Museum of Natural History displays rock specimens, fossils, and exhibits about Earth's evolution across several connected halls. The collections are arranged to show the progression of life and geological change over time.

The museum opened in 1988 to mark the 80th anniversary of Toyohashi City. A significant milestone came with the acquisition of an Edmontosaurus fossil from Colorado, which helped establish the museum's reputation.

The museum sits within a park setting where visitors engage directly with fossils and natural science exhibits. School groups and families visit regularly to connect with the story of Earth and its living past.

The museum sits within Nonhoi Park and is easy to reach on foot or by car. Visitors should note that outdoor exhibition areas exist, so weather-appropriate clothing is advisable.

Outdoors, there is a dedicated Dinosaur Land area with interactive elements and reconstructions. A large-screen theater shows nature science documentaries throughout the day.
