The pupils in Izumo-shi, from third grade through junior high school, take lessons in natural science.

The Izumo Science Center Park Town Mae Station, on the Kita-Matsue Line, serves the museum.

The main building was built to take advantage of green energy systems, such as photovoltaics and rainwater harvesting.

The Information Station has movies and books about science, and computers that can be used to learn about subjects such as weather.

In the Creation Workshop, there are facilities for woodwork and metalwork, used for groups such as the Boys and Girls Invention Club.
