A significant settlement tracing its roots to the Middle Jomon Period, offering a compelling destination for enthusiasts of archaeological sites and prehistoric structures.

The open field museum with the historical architecture. I went there on summer, so it’s quite hot for the open field, recommended to go on spring or autumn. Rather than the open field, I also experienced making mini sculpture in the workshop , which I spend around 1 hours and pay around 500 yen. The best experience I’ve ever got. But the staff speaks only Japanese, so it might be not so convenient for foreigners. The admission fee is 410 yen. You also can enjoy chestnut ice cream in the cafeteria in the museum.

Lots to see. Highly educational, and very much worth the travel! Take time to read the historical explanations. Go into the huts and buildings first. You'll need at least 3 hours (still not quite enough) to visit much of what is available inside and outside. Children 8 years and older will have fun seeing and learning. They also have inexpensive crafts to make, with supervision provided, in a multipurpose crafting room! Excellent historical displays (an element of exhibition we've found to be common in Japan).

Although the site is a little remote from downtown, it is still worth a bus trip over. This may possibly be the earliest mankind civilization on Earth. Scientists are still verifying if this ancient culture consider a true society. Very educational spot, please allocate at least two hours to take a closer tour.
