Dinosaur museum where you can stay overnight🦖✨It's a great activity for elementary school students and younger.😆The night museum, which can only be experienced by hotel guests, includes quizzes and children can feel like they're leaders of an expedition as they search for dimly lit fossils with a flashlight in hand. 🧭You can visit the museum as many times as you like during your stay, and there is also a library full of dinosaur books. 📖The rooms are clean and have the bare minimum facilities, but the toilet and bath are shared. 😅 You can take a bath at a nearby hot spring. Although it's a little far away, I highly recommend the hot springs ♨️Especially the breakfast, the Nita rice egg rice, was the best😋✨

It is attracting attention as a museum where you can stay overnight. This time I only went on a tour, but I was intrigued by the variety of fossils and skeletal specimens I saw there.

The museum during the day is a normal museum. So, if you have time, we definitely recommend staying overnight! At night, it becomes a night museum, where you can enjoy quizzes and enjoy a different museum experience than during the day. The illuminated dinosaur bones are impressive.Both dinner and breakfast were so delicious that you wouldn't expect them to be of the quality you'd get in a museum cafeteria. In particular, Okuizumo's branded rice (Nita rice) is so delicious that you can't stop eating from it. I highly recommend eating rice for breakfast.

This is a popular facility as a museum where you can stay overnight.The Night Museum is so fascinating that visitors from all over the country can only experience it if they stay overnight.Breakfast at the observation restaurant is exceptional as the view is beautiful and Nita rice is served in an earthen pot.

I stayed there because I was drawn to the Night Museum.The number of exhibits is based on personal fossil collections, so there aren't that many, but it was interesting to see how elaborately the exhibits were put together.Sound and light are used effectively.Apparently, the sound and light effects are different during the day and night.Basically, museums are silent, but I thought it would be more enjoyable to use sound and light like this museum does.The food was also delicious. The view from the restaurant on the 6th floor is also good.The hot pot that allows you to enjoy the taste of your second meal at night has tomato flavor and Japanese-style soup stock, so I personally recommend the pork. It also came with maitake mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms from Okuizumo and was delicious.The Japanese breakfast set full of Shimane ingredients was delicious, including Nita rice, raw eggs from free-range chickens, and miso soup with sea cucumbers from Lake Shinji.Also, be sure to find some bargains at the souvenir corner at the entrance on the 1st floor.Good quality fossils are sold much cheaper than Tokyu Hands or Loft. I found a set of two agate conch shells (about the size of the first joint of your little finger) (400 yen) and bought them.
