Awa Historic Park

Awa Historic Park, Archaeological park in Kokufu-chō Nishi-Yano, Japan.

Awa Historic Park is a municipal historical park in Kokufu-chō Nishi-Yano, Tokushima, opened in March 1993 for the city's centenary. It is laid out in four zones on Mount Kiyama: a history and culture zone with the Tokushima City Archaeological Museum, an ancient life zone with reconstructed pit dwellings and raised-floor storehouses, a history forest zone with Yagura Hime Shrine and the Yano and Miyatani kofun of the Kiyama burial mounds, and a nature zone with an observation platform.

Awa Historic Park opened in March 1993 to mark the 100th anniversary of Tokushima's city status, built to revitalise Kokufu-chō and support cultural urban development. Its landscaping project won the 1995 Handmade Hometown Award in the history and culture category. The grounds hold the Yano burial mounds, a prefectural historic site, and the Yano site, whose bronze bell with raised-line decoration is a national Important Cultural Property kept at the Tokushima Archaeological Centre in Itano.

The park's name comes from Awa, the old province covering this part of Tokushima. Its History and Culture Zone holds the Tokushima City Archaeological Museum, where finds from the Yano site are displayed, including a bronze bell (dōtaku) with raised-line decoration that is a National Important Cultural Property, kept at the Tokushima Prefectural Archaeological Research Center in Itano. Nearby are the Yano burial mounds, a prefecturally designated historic site.

The park lies on Kienyama in Kokufu-chō Nishi-Yano, Tokushima, and is organised into four zones: history and culture, ancient life, the forest of history, and nature. In the ancient life zone, reconstructed pit dwellings and raised-floor storehouses can be entered freely. The nature zone has an observation platform.

The park grew out of the Awa Historic Park Development Project, which won the 1995 Handmade Hometown Award in the history and culture category. The award recognised the project behind the park, created in March 1993 for the 100th anniversary of Tokushima's city status.
