A spectacular Tyrannosaurus that you'll want to see at least once!

📍Whitesaurus in Katsuyama, Fukui Prefecture This giant, pure white Tyrannosaurus object, measuring 17 meters in length, suddenly appears on the way to the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum. Made of fiber-reinforced plastic, its towering white form is impressive, and it is a popular photogenic spot.  The original Whitesaurus was made of washi paper, but its neck fell off, so it was reborn as the second generation in 2017. In the snowy winter scenery, it shows its beauty as if it blends into the silvery world, and on sunny days, the contrast with the blue sky is a delight to visitors.  It is located in Gohonji, Muraoka-cho, Katsuyama, Fukui Prefecture, on the way to the Dinosaur Museum and Ski Jam Katsuyama. There is also a parking lot for about 10 cars, making it easy to access.   When you visit the Dinosaur Museum, be sure to stop by the White Saurus. The collaboration between its impressive appearance and the different scenery each season will make your travel memories even more enriching. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #DomesticTrip #Tourism #Fukui #FukuiTrip #WhiteSaurus #Katsuyama
