Kotohikihama Singing Sand Museum

The Kotohikihama Singing Sand Museum contains exhibits about the acoustic properties of local beach sand and marine artifacts from the Sea of Japan.

The museum building, designed by architect Keiji Yoshida, serves as an educational center to document the scientific properties of singing sand since its establishment.

The institution demonstrates the connection between local environmental preservation efforts and the natural phenomenon of sand producing sounds when walked upon.

Located at 1250 Kakeji, Amino-cho, the museum operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with entrance fees ranging from 90 yen for children to 290 yen for adults.

Visitors can examine sand particles through microscopes and experience the sound-producing qualities of the sand regardless of weather conditions throughout the year.
