"Stone Throwing Game"

There is also a place where you can play stone throwing outside.
There aren't many places outside where you can throw stones with all your might.

Try throwing it as hard as you can, aiming at the target. The exhilaration of hitting the target is indescribable.

"Jewelry Hunting Experience”


Next was Hakusekikan's most popular "Jewelry Hunting Experience". You can find about 30 types of gems and precious stones of various sizes.

Dig up the sand in the aquarium with your bowl or your hands to get the beautiful gems!

COVID-19 measures are also taken to the fullest, and water disinfected with hypochlorous acid is constantly flowing at the water station for the jewelry-seeking experience.

Look carefully and first try to find if there are any stones on the surface.


I found it! Green stone.

I would like to keep looking for more and more!


In the Jewelry Hunting Experience, the key is also buried somewhere. If you find this key, you can get a nice gift, so please try to find it together.

Here are the gems you found within the time limit. Since the day I visited was a weekday, I was able to get quite a lot of stones.


On the wall is also written what power each stone has. It's fun to check what power the stones you get have.

You can make accessories, gem paintings, kaleidoscopes, and other items by hand using stones found in the gem search. After the treasure hunt, please try your hand at making original goods with your children.

Try Japan's largest pyramid and Underground Maze!


Hakusekikan, the biggest attraction is the "Pyramid" which boasts the largest scale in Japan. 5,500 tons of Hirukawa granite are piled up to reproduce the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt at 1/10 scale.


There is a stone chamber inside, and in the sarcophagus under it, there are many mementos such as the stone of the Egyptian pyramid, the message of the Egyptian ambassador, and the atomic bombed stone of Hiroshima.


"Pyramid Square".
A magnificent Colosseum with 12,000 tons of Italian marble.

One of the most popular is the popular "Underground Maze". Total length 350m. Let's conquer the stone maze full of mysteries.

When you go inside, you will be surprised at how elaborate it is.

It is dimly lit and the same view continues, so you gradually lose track of where you are.

There are also markers along the way that will tell you where you are.

It is said that it takes about 10 minutes to reach the goal, so please give it a try.
