Ōsaka Prefectural Museum of Yayoi Culture

😐 無料駐車場あり、入館料は一般310円で、入館時にコロナ対応の検温がありました。常設展示で第一展示室「目で見る弥生文化」第二展示室「池上曽根ワールド」があり、第一展示室では、レプリカ資料と思われる展示が多く、あぁ、やられたか…と正直、物足りなさを感じてしまいましたが、自分自身が、第一で終わりかと勘違い、第...

Kyoto City Archaeological Museum

Archaeological museum

👍👍 Revisited in December 2023. We observed research by museum curators at Kyoto University of Advanced Science on the history of Sanjo Street. The 3D reproduction of the Cultural Museum was wonderful. The historical walking map they give out is also great. When we talk about the history of Kyoto, the...

Remains of the Kan-in-no-miya Residence

Local history museum

👍 Free! And in Kyoto where many places charge admission to view places like this it’s a great place to visit. Not many tourists stop by here as they continue on into the imperial palace grounds (basically a big park and garden) and don’t realize they can stroll through a old imperial villa with lots o...

Takamatsuzuka Mural Museum

Archaeological museum

😐 無料の駐車場に停めてから5分程歩くと着きます。場所は分かりにくく少し迷いました😅 周りの景色はのどかで凄く良かったです。無料で綺麗で大きなキトラ古墳館の方を先に見てしまったので、こちらは300円と安いのですが有料で、建物も古く、展示物も本物でなく、建物自体が小さい為に直ぐに見終わってしまうので評価は...

Mount Kinsho Fossil Museum

Natural history museum

👍👍 This museum has many fossils on display. The floor is not very large, but considering the admission fee of 100 yen, it is enough. There was an explanation that many fossils have been excavated in this area, but I felt that the main focus was on exhibiting the actual objects rather than on such thing...
