Kamezuka Kofun Ancient Tomb Park and Amabe Ancient Tomb Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

This park and museum, a 15-minute drive from the Oita-Miyagawauchi Interchange on the Higashikyushu Expressway, were built around the Kamezuka Kofun Ancient Tomb, a keyhole-shaped tumulus constructed in the early Kofun period (between the end of the fourth century and the beginning of the fifth century) which is the largest of its kind in the prefecture. The museum consists of seven general zones and displays artefacts excavated from the tomb while also presenting information on the culture of kofun tombs through the use of large dioramas and model reconstructions. The museum also displays the actual Onose Sarcophagus, a prefecturally-designated Tangible Cultural Property; and reproductions of period ironware. In addition, there's a mini theater and video and information space, enabling visitors to learn more via computers and images.
