The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Archaeology displays finds spanning 3500 years of regional history, from the Jomon through Edo periods. The collection covers graves, remains, and artifacts that document life in this area across multiple ancient and historical epochs.

The museum opened in October 2007 and features reconstructed ancient dwellings, including a transported pit house from the Yayoi period. These installations allow visitors to experience the material culture of these early times directly.

The exhibits reveal how people lived across different eras in this region, from the tools they made to how communities interacted. You can see how daily life and social structures evolved over thousands of years.

The museum offers interactive activities such as simulated excavations and workshops on traditional techniques like making magatama beads. These hands-on experiences help visitors understand archaeological work and try historical crafts themselves.

The Discovery Room displays recreated pottery reflecting different historical styles and houses authentic Akashi Skeletons for studying human origins. This collection offers rare insights into early human evolution in Japan.
