About this spot

This facility beside the Ikime Burial Mound Group handles Miyazaki City's buried cultural properties. Materials such as earthenware unearthed from sites around the city are on display, letting you confirm through objects just what kind of people the mounds you have only just walked belonged to. The air-conditioned interior also makes an ideal rest stop for cooling a body heated by walking outside. The exhibition is compact, so you can finish it while a small child's attention still holds, which is another help. The second half of the morning is allotted to quiet indoor time so that everyone can play hard in the water in the afternoon.

Tips

Opening days and the areas open to visitors can change with the season, so checking Miyazaki City's information in advance makes the visit certain. The exhibition room is a quiet space, so telling small children about voice levels before entering keeps things smooth. The layout makes it easy to look around while pushing a stroller.
