Kita City Asukayama Museum

The Kita City Asukayama Museum sits within Asukayama Park and displays findings and exhibits on the history of northern Tokyo. The collection spans from archaeological objects to materials on how the region developed in more recent times.

The museum was founded in 1998 and preserves archaeological finds such as tools and other objects from the Jomon and Yayoi periods. These periods show how people lived in this region thousands of years ago.

The museum displays how life in this area changed over centuries, from small villages to the modern city. You can see how people once lived, worked, and built their communities here.

The museum is conveniently located within the park and can be visited along with two other museums nearby. With a combination ticket you save money when visiting all three places.

One special exhibit shows animal models in a darkened room, creating a strong contrast to the modern city of Tokyo surrounding it. This effect lets visitors feel they are looking into two different times at once.
