This is an excellent free museum for anyone interested in seeing high quality exhibits especially of natural history. There was also a special exhibition on Bunzo Hayata, a Japanese botanist noted for his taxonomic work in Japan and colonial Taiwan.There's a spectrometer machine (I think) and a lab in-situ and I even saw a member of staff working on chemical specimens. The ground floor collection is mainly natural history, which cultural items from around the world. Many of these exhibits have QR codes for more information. The 2nd floor has exhibition on pre-historic hominids, but very little information in English. Google Translate is your friend here.

A bit small but interesting. There are several samples of human body parts, animal, and plants. There are rock specimens too. The explanation below the samples and specimens usually in Japanese. But the staff will help you to understand. Nice. And free entrance 👍

A small museum located in the university campus. There’s a little bit of everything, animal bones, human skulls (many of them!), shells, butterflies, chicken, horse and cow specimens, etc. a fun place to explore but don’t expect too much, it’s not a “museum museum”, but more of a laboratory and research center, so just pay respects and don’t disturb their work.

Juste at one of the university gates. It’s a 2 story small museum where you can see some of the collection they have. They had a temporary exhibition on some of the great first entomologists of Japan. Very fun and it’s free!
