ECOLOGY PARK: AN OPEN-AIR MUSEUM

Ecology Park is an observation field, located adjacent to the main building. Within approximately 6.6 hectares (16.3 acres) of the grounds, different types of forest and grassland vegetation found on the Boso Peninsula have been reconstructed. You can closely observe the life of plants and animals and their seasonal changes in the park. You can also obtain the latest information about the park at the Orientation House, and watch ducks, egrets, and other wild birds in the Funada-ike Pond from the Bird Observation Hut.
