This was a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend seeing the artifacts and learning the history of Japan.

I visited this museum on February 2, 2024. I saw some mixed reviews about the museum before I went, but I decided to visit anyway. I really enjoyed my visit! To me, it was really special to be near the konfun, and see some of the artifacts rescued through excavations over the years. The exhibitions gave me a totally different understanding of how the konfun looked originally, and how they were used as ceremonial sites. It's obviously not a major museum of Japan, but I really appreciated what they are able to do for visitors. I think I spent about 1.5 hours looking at the artifacts, and I imagined that I would have spent about 45 minutes when I was entering. So, go visit this museum; they do a great job!

Very informative museum about the history and development of Sakai city and the various kofuns. I recommend to watch the free film before viewing the exibition as the film will provide bit an overview of the building, developing, discovering of the kofuns.

Definitely worth the price of admission - 200 yen. You can learn a lot about Japanese and Sakai history, especially about the kofun burial mounds. Don't leave without catching the short documentary they play in the theater room.
