しもつけ風土記の丘資料館

The wave of administrative reform will reach this point ... 【I'm sorry. The photo is before the renewal] This museum used to be an affiliated organization of Tochigi Prefecture, but it was transferred to Shimotsuke City in 2015 and is now operated by the Shimotsuke City Board of Education. From the Kofun to the Nara period, the center of Shimono was around here. There are many large-scale burial mounds around here, and the ruins of the National Government Office and Soja are on the opposite bank across the Shikawa River. (No, I'm not going to say puns). However, in modern times, the central area of ​​this ancient Shimotsuke spans multiple administrative districts of Oyama City, Tochigi City, and Mibu Town in addition to Shimotsuke City. Therefore, each local government has a guidance facility, and each facility only exhibits (or cannot) be limited to its own administrative area, so the state of the ruler of Shimotsuke during the Kofun period and the overall picture of the national government are good. It's a shame that I don't know. In such a case, I wish I could keep this museum as a prefectural government and display the whole picture regardless of the boundaries of the cities, towns and villages. Moreover, the neighboring Buddhist Cultural Property Center is still operated by the prefectural public interest corporation. However, looking at the background of the gift (?) To Shimotsuke City, it was part of the administrative reform of Tochigi Prefecture, which was proceeding with the consolidation and consolidation of affiliated organizations. Certainly, the maintenance of facilities that only a few people visit a day also costs a certain amount of money ... However, the city of Shimotsuke that I received already has the Yakushiji Museum, so it's tough ... Let's visit and contribute to improving your finances and occupancy rate!

I am surprised that such a wonderful building was in this place in ancient times ❗️ It is a place where you can learn ancient history ✨ worthy of the name of "East Asuka" ✏️

20211012 It was a road, so I stopped by. It was a smaller exhibition room than I expected. Also, to my surprise, the first eight bullets of the Shimotsuki History Card were reprinted and distributed. In addition, I got the ruins of Shimotsuke Kokubunji Temple in 2021. As a facility, it is only a part of Tenpyonooka Park and is not the main facility. It's kind of textbook-like, and the content is good, but I'd like you to distribute a manual that tickles your heart. For example, it would be interesting to put a leaflet on how many people and years it would take to make an old burial mound, and how many people it would have been. Also, it may be good to explain how many monks there are in Kokubunji and the composition of the class. For me, Yakushiji was more interesting. It's okay to pay (free for small and medium-sized cars, there are more cards than cards, and that's what you should pay for), so please make it interesting. I look forward to the efforts of the curators.

Greatness that doesn't seem to be free! If it is a museum of a certain tumulus group in Saitama prefecture, it seems that 300 yen will be charged for visitors (laughs). If you take a look here, there is a Biwazuka Kofun in Oyama City nearby (a few minutes by car), so you can park your car at the Kofun Museum and walk in the order of Museum ⇨ Biwazuka Kofun ⇨ Marishitenzuka Kofun. Maybe it's good.

Do you know why you write "Shimotsuke" and call it "Shimotsuke"? If you read it normally, it should be a "thing". It's really strange that there is a "ke" even though there is no "hair", and there is no "no" even though there is a "field". Come here to see why. I searched online for this reason, but couldn't find it. However, it was here. The exhibition focuses on the history of Shimotsuke City, but there are many very good materials for learning Japanese history. I learned very well.

After seeing the cherry blossoms in front of the museum, I entered the museum. Due to the corona, you can enter after filling in the number limit and simple entry. It's free. I was surprised that there are so many burial mounds in Tochigi prefecture, and I was also surprised at the large number of haniwa.
