[2025 Oda Attraction] Travel Guide for Nima Sand Museum (Updated Jul)

#springwander A sand museum with the largest hourglass in the world. Sand art works with the theme of sand, "time" and "environment" and various sands from around the world are on display. The building is a pyramid-shaped with 6 total glass walls. In the central time hole, the world's largest one-year hourglass "sand calendar" is set up in a space 8 metres above the ground in the hope of preserving the "sounding sand" and protecting the environment. Sand with a total weight of 1 ton falls over a year in a glass container with a height of 5.2 metres and a diameter of 1 metre. On New Year's Eve, the annual event "Time Festival" is held, which rotates the sand calendar by half.

The Nima Sand Museum is an hourglass museum in Shimane Prefecture. You can also experience singing sand in the nearby sea. This is a perfect museum for a date or a fun day with friends. Looking at the hourglass, you'll forget the passage of time. There is a one-year timer that flips over once a year, and many people come just to see it. I want to see that moment too! The workshop where you can make works using sand is very fun! There is sand of various colors, and you can complete your work with your own personality. It is an experience that is engrossing for both children and adults. It is located near the sea, so you can also enjoy a drive. #0 yen trip February 2025 #Domestic travel strategy #Shimane trip #Girls trip #Nima Sand Museum

The world's largest hourglass was really big!! My second son was worried that the hourglass would fall😅 The children had fun learning while watching, touching, and playing with the singing sand, sand objects, and sand from around the world😊 You can also experience glass crafts if you make a reservation. I actually wanted to buy an hourglass as a souvenir, but I was worried that the glass would break, so this time I made a clear candle✨ It turned out so cute that the children were delighted❣️ [Nima Sand Museum] 📍975 Tenkawachi, Nima-cho, Oda-shi, Shimane Prefecture 🚗Free parking available #Domestic travel #Nima Sand Museum #Tourism #Outing with kids #Shimane tourism #Shimane
