"This history museum proclaims that it is an ""extraordinary space overflowing with the culture of ancient Inaba and the 'Man'yoshu.'"" Located in Kokufu-cho, once the cultural heart of ancient Inaba Province, the museum introduces the history of the Inaba region and poets connected to the area such as Otomo no Yakamochi. The museum is adjoined by a Japanese strolling garden planted with some 40 varieties of plants mentioned in the ancient ""Man'yoshu"" poetry anthology, and visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll while reflecting on the culture of Inaba. The museum also makes it possible for visitors to try on the kind of colorful clothing people wore during the time of the ""Man'yoshu"", and even offers a one week rental service. In addition, the museum has free rental cycles and can serve as a base camp for exploring the veritable treasure trove of historical sites that is Kokufu-cho."

  • 万葉集ゆかりの展示館
    3.0 Reviewed : 2021.04.30
    因幡国の国府跡近くにあります。万葉集の作者とも言われる大伴家持ともう一人の伊福吉部徳足比売という女性の事例を中心に展示されています。丁寧な内容になっており、今まで知らなかったこともいくつか学ぶことが出来ました。エントランス横にある時の塔は、高さ約30mで展望台もあります。訪問当日、天候が良かったこともあり綺麗な山を眺めることが出来ました。
  • 入館しなくても楽しめる

    入館料はとても安く、高校生以下、65歳以上は無料です。入館しなくてもタワーからの眺めなど楽しめて、庭園を眺めながらおちゃをしてもいいです。しかも格安です。レンタサイクルも無料で借りられて便利。
  • 時の塔にも立ち寄り!

    万葉集にもゆかりがある万葉歴史館は元号が令和になって訪問者がかなり増えているようです。(館内の案内がありました・万葉衣装の試着も出来ます)館内の展示は古代の衣装や食文化、民俗行事に使われる一本角の”麒麟獅子頭”など、庭には万葉集に詠まれている植物や動物の彫刻などの見学が出来ました。敷地内には高さ30mの”時の塔”があり、エレベーターで最上階に昇ると周辺が一望できるので時間があればトライ???
