Experience one of the largest Yayoi settlements in Tokai! "Aichi Asahi Site Museum"

Reproduce the living space of the Yayoi period!
"Experience Yayoi Mura"

In the outdoor "Experience Yayoi Village", buildings, paddy fields, moats, etc. from the Yayoi period have been restored, allowing you to experience the living space of the Yayoi period. We were surprised to learn that they actually grow rice.

Raised-floor warehouse (restored)

Raised floor warehouses spread during the Yayoi period as warehouses for storing grain. Raised-floor buildings in the Yayoi period are believed to have had religious implications, and there is also a theory that they are connected to shrines. They certainly look alike!

Pit dwelling (restored)

Pit dwellings were the most common type of housing in the Yayoi period. Many pit dwelling sites have been discovered in Asahi Site.

The square grave tomb that appeared in the diorama in the exhibition room earlier has also been restored. After learning about the Yayoi period, you can immediately tell, "This is a grave!"

No. 1 Shell Mound (Mt. Shell)

Shell layer cross-section display

Kaigarayama Shell Mound, part of Asahi Site, is designated as a national historic site as an important site that reveals how the Yayoi culture took root in the Tokai region.

If you want to learn more about shell mounds, visit the "Historic Site Kaigarayama Shell Mound Exchange Center"! (Free admission).

Check out the museum shop!

Finally, check out the original goods and items related to the Yayoi period at the museum shop!

First up are the original goods of Asahi Site characters "Aka" and "Kuro".

Assembly kit for a pit dwelling and a raised floor warehouse! This item is so popular that it sells out quickly.

This is a candle stand with a motif of "earthenware with a round window", which is often excavated at Asahi Site. It has a natural design, so it will blend in easily with your room.

Is it irresistible for history buffs? ! There are also stone tool pendants and jade magatama beads.

Curator Motoki Harada

If you are interested in learning more about the Yayoi period and Asahi Site, check "The Nodes of East and West Yayoi Culture, Asahi Site", written by curator Motoki Harada,  and you can read more about Asahi Site.

This time we introduced "Aichi Asahi Site Museum". We did not know that there was such a huge Yayoi Period site in Aichi Prefecture. Even those who are not familiar with history can enjoy learning about it, as the animations and dioramas introduce life in the Yayoi period in an easy-to-understand manner. The restoration of the outdoor buildings is also a sight to behold! This is a facility that you should definitely visit with your children.

There is also a combo ticket with the Kiyosu Castle and Experience! Shidami Ancient Tumulus Museum, so be sure to visit them together.
