Down, down, down into the belly of the beast

The high dome ceiling allows for some very tall exhibits

The exhibits can be seen from many angles

Some of the exhibits include some English

Even a construction site near Katsuyama station promotes the dinosaur theme

Latest on Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum

If you like dinosaurs (and who doesn't!) this is a great place to visit. Well laid out and with gorgeous exhibits, the Fukui Prefecture Dinosaur Museum is a must see for anyone visiting Japan. Just a short bus or taxi ride from Katsuyama Station on the Echizen Line, plan to spend half a day here enjoying the archeology, history, and drama. One point for improvement: Although there is some, there's not enough English information here - although they do have a very good English website. Closed 2nd and 4th Wednesday monthly. Enjoy!
