Oita Prefectural Center for Archaeological Heritage (大分県立埋蔵文化財センター)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This prefectural facility preserves and displays materials unearthed from archaeological sites in Oita Prefecture. Through exhibits of earthenware, stone tools and ornaments, you can truly feel that people have lived on the very land you are walking since ancient times. The displays are clearly organized, so even children can go around asking what each item was used for. Admission is free and the building is air-conditioned, so starting a hot day here in the morning makes good sense. Slip in one quiet stretch of time before the water play.

Tips

Please check the opening days and hours, and whether a special exhibition is on, with Oita Prefecture information before your visit. A tour takes about an hour. There is a parking lot, so the location is easy to reach by car.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. The morning, when there are fewer visitors, lets you look around at leisure.
