    Wakayama Pref. Higashimuroguntaijichou Taiji 2934-2
    A museum in Taiji, Taiji Town, Higashimuro County. Through various displays visitors can learn about the more than 400 year old relationship Taiji Town has had with whaling, as well as traditional whaling techniques, and the ecology of whales. Visitors can also watch the whales in action in dolphin and whale shows like the short-finned pilot whale show held in the natural pool built in the sea. The full scale skeleton of the world's largest animal, the blue whale, exhibited outdoors, is an impressive sight.

    Please do not patronize this cruel and inhuman “museum” the beautiful albino dolphin named Angel swims in circles in a filthy small tank. Horrible.

    以前から気にはなってましたので、行程の都合上パンダの前に寄ってみました。 中はエンタメに振ってる行政がやってそうな科学館みたいな感じですが、入場料は行政ぽくありません（汗） 子供はミステリーハウスではしゃいでました。小学生くらいの家族連れは結構見ましたが、子供はみんな楽しそうでした。大人はめまいする…とか言ってる人もいました。 うちの子供は360°立体シアターの方を気に入って2種類見てました。ロ...

    和歌山城の天守閣に登り紅葉渓庭園のほうを回ってからこちらに来ました。観光バス駐車場の近くです。紀州藩時代が中心かと思って中に入りました。和歌山出身の著名人の展示があり、こちらも楽しめました。松下幸之助や南方熊楠などが和歌山出身とは知りませんでした。雑賀衆の歴史はここでしか見ることができないものかもと思いました。

    Wakayama Arida-gun Yuasacho Yuasa 679-2
    This museum is housed in a traditional Japanese home building which once also operated as a tofu shop. The facility was opened as part of the Agency for Cultural Affairs' Kominka Model Business project, which aims to repurpose old Japanese homes which are no longer used but which are of cultural value into businesses. The museum retains as much of the original home architecture as possible and displays old toys, particularly from the late 1950s to early 1960s, including kendama cup-and-ball games, beigoma tops, and retro action figures and dolls. There's even an area where visitors can actually play with some of the toys. In addition, the museum has an old-fashioned dagashi cheap sweets shop and a cafe area, making it a space that is fun for children but also a place where adults can revisit their own childhood.
