The park is built on a site that previously focused on local geological energy features.
The 'Mystery Zone' contains a room tilted at a specific angle to create a disorienting gravitational illusion.
The facility generates a portion of its own power requirements via rooftop solar installations.
It features a '3D cinema' that uses immersive visual storytelling to explain environmental preservation.
The park's floor layout is designed to simulate a walking path through different energy-producing environments.
Shirahama Energy Land is a science-themed amusement park focused on renewable energy and sensory-based illusions. The park features the 'Mirage House' and 'Mystery Zone,' which utilize optical illusions to challenge visitor perception of gravity and space. It includes interactive zones where guests engage with exhibits demonstrating wind, solar, and kinetic energy principles. The site is situated overlooking the Shirahama coastline, integrating natural sea views into its layout. Most exhibits are designed for children and families, combining educational content with physical play areas. The facility emphasizes hands-on learning, encouraging visitors to manipulate energy sources through touch-based consoles.
