  • 展示は少ないけどかわいい

    岩国城ロープウェイ乗り場の前にある施設です。岩国名物のシロヘビを展示しています。こじんまりとした施設ですが、解説は多く、意外と見応えはあります。入場料も安いのでとりあえず入ってみるといいと思います。
  • シロヘビ一見の価値あり

    かなり小さな博物館。錦帯橋を渡った、吉香公園内にある。実際にシロヘビが見られてよかった。美しかった。去年生まれた赤ちゃんシロヘビもいた。展示は子ども向けで平易な説明だが、イラストや映像がわかりやすくてよかった。

    岩国の代表的な観光資源として錦帯橋と並び称される天然記念物の白蛇を展示しています。アオダイショウのアルビノということでそれなりのサイズです。昼間だからかあまり活動している様子は見られません。白蛇自体は全国各地で稀に発生するようですが、代々遺伝していること自体が貴重なのだとか。
