"Mutsumi Insect Kingdom" is a special seasonal spot located in the Mutsumi area within the mountainous region of Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This area is surrounded by rich nature, where you can enjoy beautiful seasonal scenery such as the "Mutsumi Flower Road," featuring approximately 330,000 blooming sunflowers in summer. The biggest highlight of Mutsumi Insect Kingdom is the opportunity to directly interact with various insects, including rhinoceros beetles, in this lush environment.
The greatest charm is the direct interaction with insects. Observing or even touching rhinoceros beetles up close provides a wonderful opportunity for nature education and sparking curiosity in children. Unlike typical parks or exhibition facilities, this seasonal spot offers a dynamic nature experience unique to summer. Beyond just learning about insect ecology, you can experience the essence of a Japanese summer through all five senses.
The event (facility opening) is scheduled from July 11, 2026, to August 16, 2026. This period coincides with the Japanese summer vacation season, making it a very lively time. Since it is held when insect activity is at its peak, it is the perfect timing for insect observation.
The venue is located in the Mutsumi area of Hagi, Yamaguchi. Nearby attractions like the
