Hello, and welcome!
Japan Dinosaur Guide is a specialized media site that introduces dinosaur-related places and experiences across Japan.
This site is operated by HouBou, a Japan-based creator who also runs the Japanese dinosaur media platform “Tankyu-sha (探究舎).”
Background
My journey began when my elementary school-aged son became fascinated with dinosaurs.
I wanted to make it easier for children who love dinosaurs—and their families—to find clear, reliable, and exciting information.
That’s how I started creating dinosaur-related content.
Since then, I have personally visited dinosaur spots all over Japan and have been sharing information based on real experiences.
Through my Japanese media platform “Tankyu-sha,” I introduce:
- Dinosaur museums
- Dinosaur events
- Dinosaur-themed hotels
- Fossil digging experiences
and many other places where you can encounter dinosaurs across Japan.
■ Track Record
“Tankyu-sha” has:
- Over 38,000 monthly page views
- Top search rankings for dinosaur events and facilities in Japan
- More than 15,000 followers on Instagram
It is widely used by families with children who love dinosaurs.
I have also collaborated with dinosaur-related companies and covered many events and facilities.

■ Why This Site Exists
Japan is home to many world-class dinosaur destinations.
For example:
- Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum (one of the world’s leading dinosaur museums)
- Fossil excavation experiences across the country
- Dinosaur-themed hotels and events
However, most of this information is available only in Japanese, making it difficult for international visitors to access.
■ Our Mission
This site is created for:
- Dinosaur lovers visiting Japan from abroad
- Families planning a trip to Japan
- Anyone interested in dinosaurs
Our goal is to provide:
👉 Clear, reliable, and experience-based information
that helps you plan unforgettable dinosaur adventures in Japan.
■ What Makes This Site Different
All content on this site is based on:
- Real visits and firsthand experiences
- Verified official information
- Both a parent’s and a child’s perspective
This is not just a travel guide.
We focus on:
👉 Experiences that truly excite dinosaur-loving children
👉 Places that families can enjoy with confidence
■ Final Message
Dinosaurs spark curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning in children.
I hope this site helps you and your family discover
a once-in-a-lifetime dinosaur experience in Japan.
