This place was amazing! We spent a few hours walking around to learn nature, history, agriculture, animals and etc. There were a couple of small theatres to watch the videos about the forest in 4 seasons and Takachiho Kagura. So much info to have a read,look, and listen, which made us inspired. I normally take many photos but got into the showcases and completely forgot. No food or drinks inside but a drink space at the entrance. The parking was huge and spacey. It was located just next to Miyazaki shrine, a few min drive from there. It's worth visiting when you come around.

Definitely one of the best museum I've visited in this area. Only bad thing is that they don't have any informations in English. But it does not matter because you can get most of it just by looking. It's prepared very nicely. Two levels = one is living animals in Japan and the second is the history of the Japanese culture. Don't miss this one!

Well worth the visit and it's free. Watch the movie at the dinosaur exhibit. It has English subtitles. Very close to Miyazaki shrine and behind the museum is a small area with 4 traditional cultural houses with thatch roofs.

Great replicas and detailed explanation of nature around Miyazaki and the living things in the area. No English but replica models are very well made which felt immersive. It’s conveniently located besides the Miyazaki Jinja. If you walked slowly you could spend 2 hours here easily.

Family friendly museum. Parking lot is spacious. There’s a small store outside the museum for a quick snack.
