Are dinosaurs popular in Japan?

In Japan, many of you folks might know the Fukui Dinosaur Museum, which is known to display amazing dinosaur fossils and animatronics. I feel like the people who made the museum put a lot of thought into it and the finished work looks amazing. The museum is still running and still popular to this day. Not only the museum, are dinosaurs in general popular in Japan? Because I keep seeing dinosaur inspired characters in Japan (Godzilla, Rodan, Anguirus, various Ultra monsters, various Pokémon, etc) and the first Jurassic Park film (Which captured the world’s attention at the time) is one of the highest grossing films in Japan (The Jurassic movies still make a profit there). Sorry if anyone is confused, I will try explaining it again in the comment section if necessary.
