A valuable museum where you can see real world-class varves. It is a sight to behold, including evidence of earthquakes during the era of Toyoda Hideyoshi and the remains of a volcanic eruption (volcanic ash) that is said to have wiped out the Jomon people of Kyushu. Admission fee is 700 yen for a set with the Jomon Museum next door. (Individual admission tickets can be purchased)

I happened to see an advertisement for the Angel Line lift station without originally planning to do so, and I was drawn to the catchphrase of ``Changing the World,'' so I decided to visit with the idea that there would be discounts on lift tickets. What's amazing? . . You'll know when you go! (lol) When you enter the museum, the intro begins on the projector. Honestly, I have no expectations so far. . . But after that, I can only say that it was amazing. We highly recommend that you stop by when you're in the area. I think it would be a good idea to have plenty of time to think about it and understand it. Small children may get bored quickly 💧 If you are an adult who has a certain amount of time to spare, please check it out! Four adults managed to clear the final crossword. Lovely? ! You can get a souvenir (lol) Great for those who went, but for those who don't? ! I wonder if it's something. Have lunch at the nearest eel restaurant? !

(Translated by Google) 2022.07 Visited Wednesday / Fukui Prefectural Annual Stripe Museum (Hokuriku Trip) [Time required] 1 hour 20 minutes [Cost] Wakasa Mikata Jomon Museum and 2 common tickets are 700 yen / person. 500 yen / person alone. 20% discount on JAF only [Parking lot] Free [Impression] I forgot what the program was, but it was a museum that I wanted to go to because it was introduced on TV. The location was very close to the Mikatagoko smart IC. There is a parking lot shared with the Wakasa Mikata Jomon Museum. The modern building was long sideways and the exhibits were mainly on the second floor. When you buy an admission ticket at the reception, first fill in the representative information as a measure against corona. After that, you will be guided to the "Varve Theater" on the 1st floor. The Varve Theater is a 180-degree screen and images on the floor that introduce you to the Suigetsu Lake Varve in an easy-to-understand manner. After that, go to the desired year-striped gallery on the 2nd floor. It was a masterpiece that the 70,000-year-old varve was displayed as a 45m stained glass that was deposited without chipping for one year. I watched it three times, so I felt like I had traveled back in time for a total of 210,000 years. I learned that there are various varves in the world besides here, but I think that the varve of Lake Suigetsu is the best varve in the world. He often found it! !! !! Also, well, the crustal movement has changed! For the first time, I learned that it was a great discovery to rewrite various chronological tables around the world into the correct year. (At the Wakasa-Mikata Jomon Museum next door, it was interesting that the chronological notation of the exhibits was before and after the discovery of Lake Suigetsu!) The video is only the theater on the 1st floor and the "Secret of Lake Suigetsu" on the 2nd floor, but there is an audio guide on your smartphone that will guide you in an easy-to-understand manner, so be sure to bring your earphones! Unfortunately, Cafe Stripe was closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I couldn't bother you. (Instead, I got a map of a nearby restaurant at the reception.) Even though it was a weekday before summer vacation, it was a popular museum with a constant number of visitors. [Previous visit] Odani Castle Sengoku History Museum [Next place to visit] Rapier (shopping center) (Original) 2022.07　水曜日訪問／福井県年縞博物館（北陸の旅） 【所要時間】1時間20分 【費用】若狭三方縄文博物館と２館共通券が700円/人。単独だと500円/人。ＪＡＦの割引は単独のみ20％引き 【駐車場】無料 【感想】何の番組か忘れましたがテレビで紹介されていて行きたかった博物館です。場所は三方五湖スマートＩＣからすぐ近くでした。 若狭三方縄文博物館と共用の駐車場があります。近代的な建物は横に長く展示は主に２階にありました。 受付で入場券を買うとまずはコロナ対策として代表者の情報を記入します。そのあと１階の「年縞シアター」に誘導されます。年縞シアターは１８０度スクリーンと床面への映像で、水月湖年縞について分かりやすく紹介してくれます。 そのあと、２階にあるお目当ての年縞ギャラリーへ。７万年分の年縞が１年の欠けずに堆積された45ｍのステンドグラスにして展示されていて圧巻でした。３回は観て廻ったので、計２１万年のタイムトラベルをした気分になりました。 ここの他にも世界でいろいろな年縞があることを知りましたが、水月湖の年縞は奇跡の年縞で世界一だと思います。よくぞ発見してくれました！！！またよくぞ、地殻変動してくれました！ これまでの世界中のいろいろな年表を正しい年に書き換えるだけの大発見であることも初めて知りました。（隣の若狭三方縄文博物館では、展示物の年代表記が水月湖発見前と後の年代が記載されていておもしろかった！） 映像は、１階のシアターと２階の「水月湖の秘密」だけですが、スマートフォンの音声ガイドがあり、わかりやすくガイドしてくれますので、ぜひイヤフォン持参で訪れましょう！ カフェ縞は、火水定休日で、残念ながらお邪魔できませんでした。（代わりに受付で近くの食事処マップをもらえました。） 夏休み前の平日にもかかわらず、訪問者が絶えない人気の博物館でした。 【前の訪問地】小谷城戦国歴史資料館 【次の訪問地】レピア（ショッピングセンター）

湖底にあって本来なら見ることが出来ない年縞の実物を、研究者でもない一般人にも見せてくれる素晴らしい施設。 ７万年と言われるとピンと来ないけれど、年表にそって進むとその間に何があったのかよく分かるしすごく良い展示をされているなぁと思いました。 スマホでQRコードを読み取ると詳しい説明が読めたり、疑問に思ったことを案内係（？）の方にお聞きしたら分かりやすく説明してくださったりして勉強になりました。 アクセス難易度はちょっと高めですが機会があればまた行きたいです。

The building was a stylish and sophisticated space. There were about 20 people inside the museum, so it wasn't crowded and we were able to look around in a relaxed manner. The contents of the exhibit were interesting, and it was very interesting to see that the records of Japan's temperature changes and volcanic activity are visible in the varves...! Shima Cafe has a nice view and a calm atmosphere where you can relax. I want to go again! !

A small museum in Jomon Roman Park in Mikata, Fukui Prefecture that displays the varves of Lake Suigetsu. The nearest station is JR Mikata Station. Free parking is available. It is a very stylish building. It's so stylish that I can't see the entrance. Stripes here and there. When I was sightseeing around the Mikata Goko Lakes, I visited a cafe because I thought the "Shishima Sandwich" was cute, but it was closed!... Too bad. According to SNS, it will be on hiatus for a while. However, the theater where I learned about varves, which I didn't know about, was really good and easy to understand. The longest in the world! I had no idea it was such an amazing place! The real stained glass with precious varves, which was made with great difficulty, is also worth a look.

(Translated by Google) I thought it was really good to go. Let's go after getting a 20% discount ticket at the nearby roadside station. I've never heard of varves, but I can understand what they are from the 360-degree video and explanation narration that I see at the beginning. After that, there were exhibits that piqued my interest, and I was able to learn about the evolution of the earth from 70,000 years ago while feeling a sense of excitement. (Original) 本当に行ってよかったと思えました。すぐ近くの道の駅で2割引き券をもらってから行きましょう。年縞は初めて聞きましたが、最初に見せて貰える360度の映像と説明ナレーションで年縞とは何か分かります。その後に興味をそそられる展示物があり7万年前からの地球の歩みをどこか感動をおぼえながら勉強する事が出来ました。

世界的に例が無い年縞に特化した凄い博物館です。三方五湖の一つの水月湖の湖底から深さ45mの地層を掘り下げ7万年前まで1年単位(約0.7mm)の年縞を調べている研究施設でもあります。現生人類の前のネアンデルタール人が生きていた時代からの地球の歴史が徐々に分かりつつあるようです。研究員の方の話を聞いていると気が遠くなりました。

福井県の三方五湖の辺りに建つ七万年分の年縞を展示した博物館です。 七万年分の年縞は長さ45mにもなるためこの長さの建物が必要だったそうです。 屋根を支える木造の梁と鉄骨のトラスが綺麗でした。 建築家の内藤廣さん設計の建物が見応えあります。

年縞というのはあまり聞き馴染みのないものかと思いますが、簡単に言えば、「年代の物差し」です。詳しくは、ここに全てありますし、説明もしてくれます。 入場料は一般500円ですが、JAF会員使えます。すると450円で見ることができます。 向かいの縄文博物館のセット券もあり、そちらは一般700円です。面白さでいえば、月とスッポンなので、年縞博物館だけでもいいかなと思います。 年縞だけでなく、建築も見どころがあり、いろいろな楽しみ方がありますね。

I didn't know what to expect going into this place, but it was soooo very interesting. They have some English stuff, but not much. Bring a translator that is interested in science. If you are a history or science person, come here, it's a great way to use a couple of hours

History of nature

(Translated by Google) The miraculous varves are a must-see museum. The building is modern and stylish. The admission fee is 500 yen for the general public, but the JAF member discount is 400 yen. Although there were only a few items on display, I was able to enjoy learning with the ingenuity of using QR codes to provide explanations on my smartphone. There are few explanations with difficult characters, and the contents are easy to understand, so I think it is easy for elementary school students to understand. There is also a beautiful lawn around the museum, so it is recommended to take a walk while enjoying the scenery. (Original) 奇跡の年縞、是非見て欲しい博物館です。 建物もモダンでオシャレですね。 入館料は一般500円のところJAF会員割引で400円、このお値段で世界に誇れる年代の物差しを知ることができるのは、ここしかありません。 展示物は少ないですが、QRコードを使ったスマホでの解説など、工夫をこらしてあり楽しく学ぶことができました。 難しい文字が並んだ解説は少ないし、分かり易い内容なので小学生ぐらいでも理解しやすいのではないかと思います。 博物館の周りもきれいな芝生で、景色を楽しんでお散歩するのもお勧めです。

Nice visit but would love to see some english there 😉

(Translated by Google) We recommend visiting here once. A 34-meter stratum can be seen from Lake Suigetsu. Since it was a weekday, there was no guide, but I enjoyed it. You can also enjoy the architecture. The exterior and interior are the best (*｀ω´)b The interior has a calming scent of wood. The entrance fee is 500 yen, but it is 700 yen if it is a set with Jomon. (Original) ここに一度いってみることをおすすめ。水月湖から34メートルの地層が見れるところ。平日だったのでガイドさんいなかったが楽しめました。建築物でも楽しめます。外装でも内装でも最高(*｀ω´)b内装は木の香りがあり落ち着きます。入場料は500円だが縄文とセットなら700円です。

Incredibly unique museum, showcasing the exceptional value of varved records.
