Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Archaeology

The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Archaeology displays ruins, remains, and relics spanning 3,500 years of regional history from the Jomon to Edo periods.

The museum, inaugurated in October 2007, features reconstructed ancient dwellings, including a transported Yayoi Period pit house within its exhibition spaces.

Four thematic sections examine People, Environment, Society, and Interaction through archaeological materials that detail life in ancient Hyogo Prefecture.

The museum provides hands-on activities where visitors can participate in simulated excavations and learn traditional techniques like making magatama beads.

The Discovery Room contains recreated earthenware pottery reflecting various historical styles and includes authentic Akashi Skeletons for human origins study.
