Mt. Bukoh Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

3.0

Out of all the mountains of Chichibu, Mt. Buko is particularly precious not only because of the reverence paid to it as a holy mountain but also because of its value from the perspective of the natural sciences. The Mt. Bukoh Museum was established to present all there is to know about the mountain, and the museum’s interesting and easy to understand exhibits are divided into themes such as the formation of Chichibu’s mountains, the geography and geology of Mt. Buko, and the plants and animals found here. The museum’s video room has videos on various topics relating to the mountain as well as informational panels and photographs.

Review

入館料210円はチョッと高い気がしました

武甲山資料館という名前の通り、武甲山に関する資料が展示されている建物で、展示室は１部屋だけの小さな資料館でした。観光施設というより、石灰の採掘によって変わりゆく武甲山の歴史を後世に残すための施設のような感じがしました。入館者が少ないので入館料が高くなってしまうのはしょうがないかも知れませんが、観光目的の人にはチョッと高いと思いました。
羊山公園の見晴の丘にあり

武甲山資料館は、羊山公園の見晴の丘側の奥の方にあります。ここは秩父のシンボルともいえる「武甲山」を地質、石灰岩、植物、動物、産業の視点で紹介する資料館です。映写室では武甲山に関するＤＶＤの上映も行われています。
