A lot of dinosaur fossils.

??? His eye?

Eye bone?

Adult and younger specimens.

Some of them are black. Different places, different colors? Trasformed to different rocks?



Only if you see them in museum, you believe they are not a collection of chicken bones.

One of the most famous dogs in Japan, Jiro. He went to the Antarctica as a sled dog about a half century ago. He was left there chained with other dogs when the expedition team left but survived for a year with one more dog, Taro, till the next expedition team's arrival.

And the most famous dog, Hachi - aka Hachiko.

Indigenous chickens.

So real, freaks me out.

One of the four specimens of Japanese wolf. They have gone extinct for more than 100 years.

A lava bomb. Nice naming. Reminds me of Ed Levin county park.

400 years old sky map

A photomultiplier tube from Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory.

Zero Figher

The first Japanese computer - 1700 vacuum tubes, 30KHz

I don't know how many (100+) but most of all these used to be a private collection.

I didn't think visiting museum was this exhausting. I even fell asleep on a bench inside the museum.
