Free museum, good for those interested in the natural world. Some English is provided as well as translations from QR codes. Small and quirky, spend around 30 minutes. Gift shop has parasite keychains and T-shirts!

Such a shame only so few reviews! What a weirdly wonderful experience it was! 2 floors full of preserved parasitic species! Any Sci-fi fan or alien fan would definitely appreciate this little museum. Entry is also free. Well worth a visit so what are ya waiting for?
It’s for free! You can see a lot hpand learn a lot here:)
A great, compact museum that's informative for just about anyone. As other reviews mentioned, the information is written in Japanese but there are QR codes for English and the translations are pretty solid. The gift shop has a lot of cool stuff and makes for a pretty rare souvenir for anyone who's really into this sorts stuff.
Very interesting and informative museum. It feels like I'm revisiting high school biology. The displays are awesome where there are stories behind how parasites infect humans and animals. It really shows how careful we have to be when handling food and animals. Even the 8.8m tape worm went almost undetected for the host. That's a big parasite to hold in your body!
If you're looking for a unique experience, the Parasitological Museum will not disappoint, as it is dedicated entirely to parasites. Realistic life-sized and enlarged models of parasites are on display, including the world's largest known tapeworm. The first floor of the museum focuses on a general overview of parasites and their purpose. The second floor is more specific to the different types of parasite, showcasing over 300 specimens. Admission to the museum is free, but donations are accepted as they are a nonprofit charitable organization.
Free museum, donations welcome. A unique, small place that may educate you on parasites. Gift shop on the second floor that sells T-shirts and other things. Mostly Japanese text but there are English options on the touch screens. It’s about a 15-30 minute visit, longer if you want to gaze at the specimens. Creepy.
What a cool little place! I've been waiting to see this since I was a kid. It's small and modest, but gives a great overview of basic parasitology. Lots of preserved specimens, with explanations of life cycles and research. Not a ton of English, but enough to get the idea. You only need a short visit here, but I would definitely recommend.
