A journey into history at Ujuku Shell Mound Historical Park on Amami Oshima

Ujuku Shell Mound Historical Park is the first nationally designated historic site in Amami, where a facility was built on top of the ruins, and excavated ruins such as pit dwellings, pottery, and stone tools can be viewed inside the facility. It is a complex ruin from the early Jomon period to the Middle Ages. Facility name: Ujuku Shell Mound Historical Park Location: 2301 Ujuku, Kasari-cho, Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture Access: Approximately 5 minutes by car from Amami Airport Opening hours (Morning) 9:00-12:00 (Afternoon) 13:00-17:00 (Entry until 16:30) Closed: Every Monday, the day after public holidays, New Year's holidays (December 29th-January 3rd) Admission: 200 yen for adults, 100 yen for high school and university students, 50 yen for elementary and junior high school students Coming to Amami to see the ruins? Yes! I recommend it. The reason is that it's not hot because there are ruins inside the building, there are ruins on a scale you wouldn't imagine from the outside, and you can experience the romance of history. Please immerse yourself in the romance of Amami Oshima 😊 *Confirmed that photography is allowed inside the building #Domestic travel #Amami #Amami Oshima #Kagoshima Prefecture #Remote islands #Historic sites that give a sense of history #Ruins #Tourism #Amami Oshima tourism #Amami Oshima trip #A trip to experience history and culture #Ushuku Shell Mound Historical Site Park
