JAM Fukui Katsuyama Mountain Resort (Dinosaur Hotel)
This is a highland resort hotel located about a 10-minute drive from the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum.
Opened in 2021, the "Dinosaur Lab Room" is a hands-on guest room experience featuring a total of eight rooms.
With wallpaper designed to resemble geological strata and nearly life-size cutouts of dinosaurs like Fukuiraptor and Fukuivenator lining the walls, guests can experience the immersive sensation of stepping into the world of dinosaurs. In addition to displays of specimens, field guides, and dioramas, the rooms are equipped with lab coats and name tags, making you feel just like a “dinosaur expert.” With meticulous attention to detail—such as cushions shaped like dinosaur eggs and original mugs—the decor is sure to delight dinosaur enthusiasts.
