In Chichibu, there is a museum of rocks where you won’t learn
anything about geology. Though, you will enjoy spending some pleasant hours
marveling at bizarre exhibits such as the Elvis Presley rock, the Boris Yeltsin
rock, the Jesus rock, the Nemo rock and the Donkey Kong rock. The museum lies
about two hours northwest of Tokyo, also called “Chinsekikan” means “hall of
curious rocks”. The museum contains more than 1700 specimens, and out of 900
are resemble human faces.
Moreover, these
unaltered rocks naturally resemble celebrities, religious figures, movie
characters, and more. The avid collector, Shozo Hayama took the step to collect
rocks, spent 50 years collecting naturally eroded rocks that looked like human
faces. Although, Shozo Hayama no more alive and died in 2010 and his wife
running museum affairs.
