Izumo Yayoinomori Museum

Museum / Science Museum
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!

    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。
  • 出雲王の世界が広がる

    弥生時代にガラスで作られた勾玉などの綺麗な副葬品や巨大なジオラマで弥生時代の雰囲気を感じられる施設です。隣接する国指定史跡の「西谷墳墓群」も圧巻です。
  • 入館無料

    「四隅突出型墳丘墓」という弥生時代の王墓が発掘された国史跡に隣接する博物館です。入館はなんと無料。古代出雲に少しでも興味があれば、外せない施設です。館内には出土品が展示されているほか、市内の古墳の紹介や、季節によって様々な企画展が開催されます。天気が良ければ、史跡公園で王墓にのぼるのがおススメ。見晴らしがよく、出雲の王はこんな景色のところに葬られたのかと実感できます。建物前にバス停がありますが...
