Kannonzaki Nature Museum

The Kannonzaki Nature Museum is a natural history museum in Kamoi that focuses on discoveries from Tokyo Bay. The displays show geological samples, marine animal skeletons, and their habitats through explanatory panels and visual presentations.

The museum was founded in 1953 as a scientific institution to document and protect the natural heritage of the region. Its evolution over the decades reflects growing interest in environmental education and marine conservation.

The museum shows how the local community is linked to the waters of Tokyo Bay through displays about coastal life and marine ecosystems. Visitors learn what creatures inhabit these waters and how they relate to daily life in the region.

The museum is located within Kannonzaki Park and is easily accessible when visiting the park. Visitors should plan to spend several hours to comfortably view all displays and explore the interactive areas.

A special feature is the pool where visitors can touch and observe marine animals that actually live in Tokyo Bay. This hands-on experience with the bay's real inhabitants makes the visit memorable in a way that looking at specimens alone cannot match.
