Shiga Safari Museum

Shiga Safari Museum is a natural history museum in Koka that displays taxidermy specimens of animals from different regions around the globe. These are arranged to show how animals live in their respective habitats and what the world's various ecosystems look like.

The museum was founded to give the Koka region a natural history learning center that differed from traditional classroom teaching. It helped change how people in Japan think about animals and their habitats.

The museum helps visitors learn about animals from different parts of the world and the environments where they live. By seeing these displays, people gain an understanding of how wildlife connects to natural habitats and why protection matters.

The museum is open on Sundays for visitors, so plan your visit for a Sunday. The exhibition is indoors, so you can view the displays regardless of the weather.

The museum combines traditional taxidermy techniques with modern learning methods, making it an unusual place to explore nature. This approach shows how traditional craftsmanship and contemporary teaching can work together.
