Come visit the only amber 🔶 museum in Japan, located in Kuji City, Iwate!

Kuji has been one of Japan’s largest producers of amber since the 17th century, which originates from the late Cretaceous period prehistoric forests that dinosaurs roamed in 90 million years ago! ˚ ༘ 🦖𖦹🦕⋆🌲｡˚

At the museum, you can see finished amber products, learn about folk tales, and walk through an ancient mine⛏️! You can even experience mining your own amber and creating your own accessories✨💫. And if you’re lucky…you might be able to meet the museum’s second Cat Curator 🐈, Michael!
