This museum houses the 358 bronze swords, a national treasure, as well as bronze spearheads, and dotaku (a bell-shaped bronze vessel supposed to have been put to some ceremonial use) from the Kojindani ruins and 39 dotaku from the Kamoiwakura Ruins. The Uzu pillar groupings, thought to be from the Izumotaisha inner shrine dating back to mid-13th century and many other treasures are displayed. A miniature replica model of Izumotaisha inner shrine during the Heian period can be seen too. The museum also houses the Shinwa mythology theater, a cafe, and shop.

    During the Yayoi period, huge Yosumi burial mounds were created in the Izumo region, which involved a considerable expenditure of time and effort. Nishidani Tomb No. 3 is an example of the perfected form of the Yosumi burial mound; the Izumo Yayoinomori Museum, which is located near the Nishidani tombs, shows visitors how the Izumo rulers were buried, making effective use of large models. The Museums’ permanent exhibition showcases some of the large quantity of earthenware vessels that were excavated from Nishidani Tomb No. 3, and also has displays on Izumo in the Yayoi period. There is an experiential activity area where visitors can try their hand at making Yayoi-style clothing and necklaces, etc.

    素晴らしいです！ 弥生時代の出雲の歴史を時系列、遺跡別に見ることができますし、発掘された物も、再現された模型なども様々あり、理解が深まります。 そしてなんといっても無料なのがありがたい限りです。 出雲の歴史に関する書籍も多くの種類があり、貸切で見ることができました。 この博物館と、西谷墳丘墓をセットで見られることをおすすめします。

    The Izumo Folk Craft Museum, opened in 1974, is housed within a renovated part of the traditional farmhouse of the Yamamoto family who are known to have been the wealthiest farmers in Izumo. The museum has on display a collection of pieces from all over the country with a particular focus on Shimane Prefecture which includes ceramics and lacquer ware used in people’s everyday lives, wooden items, textiles, dyed objects and metal works, etc. The Nagayamon Gate, built in the Edo period, was erected by the same master builder who constructed the Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine. The main building is currently used as a residence and the rice granary and timber store, now display rooms, are of high historical value. The nearest station is Nishi-Izumo Station.

    河井寛次郎好きな方にはお勧めですが、私はまだ染物の方が興味を惹かれました。これという目玉がありません。おじいさんが一人でチケット販売と土産販売をしていました。

    The Archeological Museum of Kojindani is located adjacent to the Kojindani archeological site; the museum was completed in 2005 to serve as the site museum. The Museum has replicas of the bronze swords, bronze bells and bronze spearheads that were excavated at the Kojindani site, along with explanatory panels, and videos showing documentary footage of the excavations, etc. Besides the permanent exhibitions, the museum also hosts lectures and special thematic exhibitions, as well as other special events such as opportunities to experience planting and harvesting ancient rice strains, etc. The museum shop sells a range of souvenir gifts etc. with designs based on the ancient rice strains, lotus seeds and bronze artifacts discovered at Kojindani; there is an impressive range of gift items that cannot be purchased anywhere else.

    博物館はあまり発見がありませんでした。 荒神谷遺跡のことを深く知りたければ、古代出雲歴史博物館に行かれることをおすすめします。 遺跡から発掘された銅鐸や銅剣、銅矛はそちらに展示されています。

  • Kitchokan

    Shimane Pref. Izumoshi Taishachoushurimen 735-5
    Held on January 3 each year, the Kitcho-san festival involves a procession around the town carrying 10-meter-high banners caked “Kitcho-ban” that are embroidered with the characters for Toshitoku-jin (the Goddess of Auspicious Directions). The Kitchokan showcases the “Kitcho-ban” banner and the history, culture and traditional ceremonies of the Taisha Town. The Kitchokan building is constructed in the style of a Shinto shrine; the glittering gold-colored lucky “fans” on the roof are particularly striking. There is a tourist information desk and restrooms, making this a good place to get tourist information for the Izumo area.

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
