磐梯山の噴火で湖ができた過程がよくわかる。観光客にはあまり人気がないらしく訪れる人は少ない。展示内容は大人向けなので子供は楽しめないと思う。貴重な資料がたくさんあり、どうやって湖ができたのか、湖には村が沈んでいるとか、いろいろ勉強になる。

Fukushima Yama-gun Kitashiobara Mura Hibara Kengamine 1093-716

A memorial museum that helps visitors understand everything about volcanos and eruptions. Although the Bandai Highlands are beautiful in any season, that beauty was built on top of the many casualties of the steam-blast eruption of the mountain in 1888. This facility teaches visitors about what happened to the Bandai Highlands after the eruption. 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。
