In Chichibu there is a most wonderful little museum we've been trying to go to for ages.

It is the Chichibu Chinsekikan, (Rare Rock Museum).

It's a museum for rocks that look like faces.

None of the rocks have been modified in any way, they are as found.


There are literally hundreds of rocks, mostly collected over 50 years from the nearby Arakawa  river.

 It was opened in 1990 by  Mr Shoji Hayama, who died a few years ago and is now run by his children

It is actually a great museum and very interesting.

 There is also a large collection of old and new cameras that look like....cameras.
