Guide
Cultural Heritage Watching is an immersive learning event designed to spark interest in local history and ancient craftsmanship. Participants can challenge themselves with traditional skills that are rarely experienced today, such as pottery making, crafting 'magatama' (comma-shaped beads), and traditional fire making. Additionally, you can deepen your understanding of the past by observing authentic ancient pottery and stone tools in the resource room.
The biggest draw of this event is the hands-on, practical approach to learning. Rather than just observing, you will actively engage in programs like pottery making, bead crafting, and fire making to truly feel the rhythm of ancient life. The opportunity to view and study genuine archaeological artifacts up close provides a profound connection to the history of the region.
This event is held over two specific days. Please note that participation on both days is required to complete the program.
The venue changes depending on the day:
This is a specialized program primarily intended for local students (3rd grade elementary to 3rd grade junior high). Capacity is limited to 20 participants, and a lottery may be held if applications exceed the limit. Pre-registration via the official form is mandatory. As the curriculum is designed as a two-part series, you must be able to attend both sessions.
As this is a hands-on outdoor event, please prepare accordingly:
