This museum is located south of Miyakojima Botanical Garden about a 15-minute drive from Hirara Port or about a 20-minute drive from Miyako Airport. It is notable for featuring in-depth exhibits about the nature, history, folk customs, and culture of Miyako Island. The museum is divided into two exhibit halls: the No. 1 and No. 2 exhibit hall. The No. 1 exhibit hall, which is focused on archaeology and history, presents information on archaeological sites that have been excavated such as the Hokama Site. It also features a recreation of life on Miyako Island from the Meiji period to the early Showa period. The museum also holds regular themed exhibits and special exhibits as well as hands-on educational activities for children, lectures, and other events.

寂れた感はあるが興味深い内容

宮古島の歴史や遺物、水産や農業に関わる道具、動物や昆虫、天気や台風など知ることができます。少し寂れた感は有りますが、展示内容は興味深いものが多く、勉強になります。子供から大人まで楽しめる場所だと思います。
好きな旅行先の土地や文化や歴史を知るのには、非常に勉強になる施設。

好きな旅行先の土地や文化や歴史を知るのには、非常に勉強になる施設。施設内は空いていて、ゆっくり施設内の見学が出来て大変勉強になり大満足でした。元々は平良市の施設だった様で、石碑が施設外にありました。
山の中にあります

レンタカーで行くと途中不安になります。こんなとこで大丈夫かと。しかしながら市の建築物ですから。中は立派な博物が並んでいます。
