Buried Cultural Properties Research Center (埋蔵文化財調査センター)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This facility organizes and stores materials unearthed from archaeological sites within Ichihara City and also puts them on display. You can view pottery and stone tools up close, so it becomes concrete what lay beneath the ground of the temple ruins you walked through just before. The exhibition room is compact, and a welcome point is that even small children can go all the way around before they get bored. Spending the hot morning hours indoors also saves energy for the afternoon water play. Because it deals with local history, it offers familiar, close-to-home discoveries that differ from a large museum in a tourist destination.

Tips

Opening days and how visits are accepted can change, so check Ichihara City's information before you go. The building is a quiet space, so telling small children about it in advance keeps things smooth. Moving on to the lunch spot by car after your visit leaves you plenty of time.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. Spending the 11 o'clock hour, when the sun grows strong, indoors is comfortable
