The museum of Sakitama historic sites displays valuable cultural assets such as the nationally designated special historic site “Sakitama Kofun Cluster” and the national treasure “Musashi Sakitama Inariyama Kofun”.

The main exhibits are the “Shogunyama Burial Mound Exhibition Hall” and the “National Treasure Exhibition Room”, and the national treasure “Kinsaku Meitekken”, which is a symbol of the museum, reveals the mystery of the establishment of an ancient nation at the end of the 5th century. It is a super first-class material for solving.

The iron sword, which is said to be a great discovery once in 100 years, and other burial items such as jade magatama and mirrors excavated from the burial facility of the Inariyama Kofun by excavation are all designated as national treasures. There are also “Magatama making” and “Tumulus guided tours”.
