Temporarily closed due to construction, and plannning to re-open in April 2025.

On the Koshiki Islands, many dinosaur fossils have been found in the strata of the late Cretaceous period (about 80-70 million years ago). Among the horned dinosaurs (plant-eating dinosaurs), the ceratopsian dinosaurs with prominent horns were the first precious discovery in Japan. In recent years, dinosaur fossils have been found on Kamikoshiki Island in the strata of the period close to when the mass extinction of dinosaurs occurred.
