Karako-Kagi Archaeological Museum

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is an archaeology museum inside the Tawaramoto Aogaki Lifelong Learning Center, gathering artifacts excavated from the Karako-Kagi site. Yayoi-period pottery and wooden tools are on display, and you can see items you have seen in textbooks, such as vessels with pictures of a multi-storied tower, right in front of you. The exhibits are compactly arranged, so even small children can go around the whole thing while their concentration lasts. The interior is air-conditioned, making it perfect for cooling down after walking outdoors. Once you learn about the Yayoi settlement here and then look out over the town, the farmland scenery looks completely different.

Tips

Check the opening days, hours, and fees in the official information in advance. The exhibition room is a quiet space, so telling small children in advance makes it go smoothly. It is built so that you can view the displays with a stroller. Learning facilities occupy the same building, so restrooms and rest areas are easy to find.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. You can spend the late-morning hours, when the sun grows strong, indoors
