Soja City Machikado Local History Museum

Flow of the course

About this spot

This local history museum stands in the center of Soja City, making full use of a Meiji-era Western-style building just as it is. With white walls and a tower, the exterior stands out even in town, and the building itself has the presence of an exhibit. Inside you can see materials on the industries and household tools that have supported Soja, and on the history of the area. The scale is not too large, so families with small children can finish a round while their concentration still holds, which is just right. At the start of the day, learn what kind of history the town you are about to play in has walked through.

Tips

Admission fees, opening hours and closed days can change, so check the Soja City information before you go. It is a place to view quietly, so agreeing in advance not to run keeps things smooth. Some roads nearby are narrow, so use the designated parking lot. The exhibits have a lot of text, so going around together and focusing on the tools and photographs keeps children from getting bored.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. The morning, before the sun gets strong, is comfortable.
