Ukichiro Nakaya was the first physicist in the world to successfully create snow crystals artificially, and was a world-class researcher in the field of low-temperature science. Nakaya Ukichiro Museum of Snow and Ice was established in his honor.
In the courtyard is a work entitled "Greenland Glacier Field" by Nakaya Ukichiro's second sister, Fujinika Nakaya, an artist known for her "fog sculptures" and other works. It is covered with approximately 60 tons of stones brought from a glacier in northern Greenland.
Byobugaura is a scenic area of sea cliffs. It is located along the Pacific Ocean coastline from Choshi City to Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture. The cliffs, which are made up of strata from the Neogene Pliocene and later, are distributed over a distance of about 10 km.
The Yabuzuka Quarry Site in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture. The unintended structure, which was created by mining a rocky hill, stands quietly deep in the mountains.
It is an art museum established by sculptor Isamu Noguchi before his death to exhibit his work. Visitors can see a variety of Isamu Noguchi's works inside and outside his former studio, which was converted from a printing factory and a gas station.
