Kanagawa Prefectural Archaeological Artifacts Center, Archaeological museum in Nakamura-chō, Japan.

The Kanagawa Prefectural Archaeological Artifacts Center is a museum dedicated to preserving and studying finds from excavations throughout the region. The collections hold objects from different periods of Japanese history, carefully organized and documented.

The center holds objects from several Japanese periods, beginning with the Jomon era and extending through later ages. Many of these artifacts were discovered during excavations across Kanagawa Prefecture and document the region's long history of settlement.

The collections show how people lived in this region over thousands of years, with tools and pottery that reflect their daily lives. Visitors can observe how craftsmanship and ways of living gradually transformed.

The museum is easily reached by public transportation and maintains regular opening hours on most days. A typical visit takes about one and a half to two hours, depending on how much time you spend with the displays.

The center manages a continuously growing collection, as new excavations take place in the region every year. This ongoing work means new findings about the past regularly emerge and displays are continually updated with fresh discoveries.
