If you are at all intrigued by the yamaneko (Iriomote's endemic wildcat), whose critically endangered population hovers around 100, it's worth stopping by this small natural-history centre. Exhibits include English signage, and the museum also screens a short documentary in Japanese about the yamaneko and its population decline, due to hazards like human refuse and fast cars.
