[Is this the deep sea?] Uozu Buried Forest Museum

The Uozu Buried Forest Museum is amazing!! If you want to feel the overwhelming power of nature, this is the place to go!! This museum in Uozu City, Toyama Prefecture, is not just a museum! Giant trees from over a thousand years ago are buried "as is"! And they're not just buried, they're submerged in crystal clear water, so they look incredibly mysterious! The reason why the buried forest was created is also amazing! Long ago, this area was covered with a forest of giant cedar trees. But one day, the rivers suddenly flooded and the land subsided, and the whole forest was buried under the ground! Normally, the trees would rot, but miraculously, they were submerged in water and there was little oxygen, so they were preserved as they were for over a thousand years! This is a total "natural time capsule"! ? What can you see inside the museum! ? ✅ Underwater exhibit → Giant tree roots are submerged in crystal clear water! It's so fantastical that it feels like another world! ✅ Cross-section of the Buried Forest → See the tree rings of trees that are over 1000 years old up close! You can also learn about the climate and environment at that time! ✅ Mirage Corner → Uozu City is one of Japan's leading mirage spots! See actual photos and videos and learn about their mysteries! And what's more, part of the museum is free! There is a fee for the underwater exhibition zone, but you can feel the power of the buried forest even in the free exhibition area outside! If you want to feel the power of nature and the flow of time, the Uozu Buried Forest Museum is a must-visit spot!!
