    Fukushima Yama-gun Kitashiobara Mura Hibara Kengamine 1093-716
    A memorial museum that helps visitors understand everything about volcanos and eruptions.

It also has exhibits about the connection between volcanos (worldwide and in Japan) and meteorological phenomena, as well as temporary seasonal exhibits.

    30年ぶりくらいに訪ねました。その頃は、3D画像が珍しく、磐梯山の噴火で飛んでくる岩にびっくりし、思わず身体をひねって避けたりしました。その迫力は変わらなかったのですが、3Dが珍しくなくなったこともあるのか、他のシーンは、それなりでした。画像の色ももう一つと感じました。
