A big museum about insects, with many kinds of beetles, and a large butterfly house to walk through. Much more to see than I expected! For 410 yen for adults, less for children, it is great value. It unfortunately lacks English explanations, aside from some insect names in English, so reduce by 1 star if you cannot read Japanese. There are exhibits showing the habitats that insects live in around the world, many pinned/preserved butterflies and other insects, exhibits about endangered insects in Ishikawa and Japan, and how they catch insects for study. They have many kinds of beetles in display cases, some very unusual, plus a wasp, and a beehive outside that you can see through a window. The main attraction is the large butterfly house, full of different species of butterflies that you can see up close. Great to walk through and get photos of the butterflies. You can go up to the roof for views around the area, and there is a gift shop on the way out.
