The permanent exhibition gives you a broad understanding of the geography, culture, and natural environment. The special exhibitions cover various themes over periods of about one to two months, letting you learn obscure old stories from the city and more. The special exhibitions are also free to view. Free, I tell you, free. They ought to charge for them. There are also live exhibits of familiar small animals such as snakes and insects, as well as a wild bird observation space, giving it the feel of a small multipurpose facility.

Unfortunately, I came on a day it was closed. Still, I was fortunate to be able to see the Kima Roki formation outside. I was able to take photos of the interior, so my original purpose was mostly achieved, and I felt relieved.
