Konoha Fossils Museum

The museum displays an extensive collection of fossils from various geological periods, featuring specimens discovered in the local Shiobara region and worldwide locations.

Established in 1905, the Konoha Fossils Museum stands as one of Japan's earliest institutions dedicated to the preservation and study of paleontological specimens.

The institution functions as an educational center where researchers and students examine prehistoric life forms through scientific analysis of fossilized remains.
