Saitama Prefectural Museum of Nature

The megalodon figure that greets you at the entrance is gave me the first life size comparison. The many tactile displays made for a very engaging visit. About 70% of the displays came with English explanation. The museum focuses on geology and fauna in various environments found in Japan. Definitely a good place to visit. Plus, there's also a good macha drink shop to visit within walking distance.

A small museum but very well done, and really a lot of cool stuff inside. You can even buy some fossils for really cheap and the entry to the museum was like 200 yen. On top of that the museum had the best taxidermy animals I've seen. Also insects, giant fossils, few dinosaurs, plenty of interesting rocks and loads of stuffed animals.

I learned a lot about Saitama and Japan, and I found the geological exhibits really interesting. There was also a showcase of a lot of the animals that roam or have once roamed the area. They have a lot of different fossils of exticlnct animals. I really enjoyed the megalodon. It's only 200 yen (2 bucks ish) if you are in Nagatoro River rafting and want to spend time learning about the area you've just rafted this is the place to go.
