Shirahama Energy Land

Shirahama Energy Land is a theme park with interactive exhibits about energy and natural phenomena. The facility features different areas including a Surprise Picture Area with 3D stories and an optical illusion section.

The park was founded in 1981 by a leading electronics pioneer who wanted to share knowledge about energy. Its opening made it one of the early institutions to bring technical subjects to a general audience.

The exhibition teaches visitors about energy generation and natural laws through hands-on experiences that reveal how energy works in everyday life. You can see how different forms of energy are made visible and how people interact with them.

The park is easy to walk through and has plenty of parking for cars. The different sections are clearly marked so visitors can easily navigate between the exhibits.

In the Labyrinth Experience Area, visitors can test their balance and sense of direction through giant mazes. This section combines physical challenges with the theme of gravitational forces in a playful way.
