Higashi Taisetsu Nature Center is a facility consisting of the "Ministry of the Environment Nukabira Gensenkyo Visitor Center" and the "Kamishihoro Town Higashi Taisetsu Museum and Archives". It is a facility that transmits local information related to nature and tourism, while inheriting the exhibits and collections of the former Higashi Taisetsu Museum.

■Ministry of the Environment Nukabira Gensenkyo Visitor Center
At this Visitor Center, we introduce the mountains of the Higashi Taisetsu region of Higashi Taisetsu National Park, diverse ecosystems, etc., using graphic panels and stuffed specimens.

■Higashi Taisetsu Museum and Archives
At this Museum and Archives, we exhibit approximately 5000 insect specimens from Daisetsuzan National Park and the world.
Also, in cooperation with Hokkaido University Earthquake and Volcano Research Observation Center, we have installed seismometers and are exhibiting the observation status of seismic activity in the vicinity.
