Yui no Yakata

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

"This history and folklore museum is located in Amagi Town a five-minute drive from Tokunoshima Kodakara Airport. The word ""yui"" refers to the spirit of mutual help and encouragement that the people of the island have cherished since ancient times, and means ""community"" and ""exchange of labor""."" Based on the five basic principles of gathering, nurturing, playing, showing and learning, which the islanders learned in their daily lives, we can learn about life from the Jomon period (about 1,000 BC-300 BC) to the Heian period (794-1185), Showa period (1926-1989) and to the present day. There is also a area that describes the relationship between Takamori Saigo and Tokunoshima Island, and an actual sabani (traditional small wooden boat) unique to the island's culture is also on display."
