The huge egg, which was 8.1 centimetres high and weighed 158 grams, was laid at the Yokaichi Minami High School in the city of Higashiomi in late October.
The egg was scheduled to be displayed after grabbing headlines in local and national newspapers. But school teachers decided on Friday to remove the shell by using a scalpel and tweezers after finding a crack.
Within the large egg, was a second egg hidden amongst the yolk and white.
Word of the second egg spread quickly after assistant principal Toshitaka Minami made a school announcement on making the surprising discovery.
The hot topic at the high school now is whether another egg is hidden inside the second, medium-sized egg. To find out, Mr Minami said the school plans to break open the second egg next week.
