縄文時代といえばこちら！リニューアル後の常設展示を拝見したく、ようやく念願叶ってのお伺いでした。やはり、土器の展示は圧巻の一言に尽きます。そして、新たな撮影スポット等もできていて、より多くのお子さんも楽しめそうです。スタッフの皆様も本当に親切です。約10600年前なんて、到底想像がつかないけれど。でも、この地に確かに人々が生活した跡があり。時代が変われど、衣食住のベースは普遍で、彼らに親近感を覚えます。（可能ならば、1〜2泊でも竪穴住居に住み、縄文クッキー作ったり、連結土坑で猪の燻製ベーコンを作ったり、一度生活したい。「縄文クッキング」の映像、最高です！！）歴史をみつめることは、現在や未来について考えることでもあると改めて体感したので、備忘録までに。 ※敷地が大変広いので、初めての方は受付等で順路をお尋ねした方が見やすいかもしれません。全体を満遍なくまわるのであれば、半日はかかります。秋冬の晴れた日に、植物や外の展示館の地層をみながら散策するのもとても楽しいです。なお、展示館内はストロボ撮影は禁止です。

上野原遺跡では、縄文時代の歴史を学べたり、体験できたりします。（駐車場）展示館の入口に看板があるので、そこを入ると多くの駐車場があります。およそ80台は停められそうです。（展示館）有料のスペースと、無料のスペースがあります。有料スペースには、出土した時や映像をみることができます。また、とても、館内はきれいです。（屋外展示）竪穴式住居跡を復元したところや、体験室では、勾玉を作ったり、土器を作ったりと縄文時代に思いを馳せながら体験できます。広い広場で遊んだり、少しですが遊具もあり晴れた日はピクニックをしたりとゆったり過ごせます。ちなみに、そとの展示を見学するのは無料です。（体験は有料）歴史を学びに行ったり、ピクニック感覚で行ったりすることのできるいい、スポットです。ぜひ、訪れてみてはいかがでしょうか? At the Uenohara Ruins, you can learn and experience the history of the Jomon period. (parking) There is a sign at the entrance to the exhibition hall, so there are many parking lots once you enter. Approximately 80 cars will be able to park there. (Exhibition Hall) There are paid spaces and free spaces. In the paid space, you can see footage of the excavation. Also, the inside of the hotel is very clean. (Outdoor exhibition) In the reconstructed pit dwelling ruins and in the experience room, you can try your hand at making magatama beads and pottery, all while thinking back to the Jomon period. You can have a relaxing time playing in the large square or having a picnic on sunny days as there is a small amount of playground equipment. By the way, it is free to visit the exhibition. (There is a charge for the experience) It's a great spot to go to learn about history or have a picnic. Why not come and visit us?
