The exhibition is extremely small. You can see the entire thing in 15 minutes. Not suitable for young children. I doubt even elementary or middle school students would enjoy. Honestly not worth the time or money. Would not go again or recommend. 2 stars because people who love mammoths might enjoy slightly.

(Translated by Google) I would like to thank Mr. Tadahiro Aizawa, the discoverer of the Iwajuku era, who once again took a picture of the shutter in the museum in front of the tremendously daunting old ruins 35,000 years ago 😆 🎵🎵 It must have been a discovery unique to an amateur. Visiting is from 9:30 to 17:00 Admission fee is 310 yen There is an image There is a parking lot and there is a toilet Excerpt from Midori City website Discovery and excavation of ruins The Iwajuku Ruins are located in the area where the small hills of Mt. Kotohira and Mt. Inari in Kasakake-cho, Midori City, Gunma Prefecture meet. In 1946, Tadahiro Aizawa, who passed through the Iwajuku Ruins, which had been a cut-through road, discovered stone tools in the red clay (Kanto Loam Formation) that had been exposed through the cut-through. After that, Aizawa investigated the cliff many times and found stone tools one after another in the red clay, but the pottery was not accompanied. At that time, it was said that humans could not live in the Kanto Loam Formation, which was made of volcanic ash more than 15,000 years ago. I found an unquestionable obsidian stone spear. This discovery was quickly informed by scholars in Tokyo, and Mr. Aizawa and Meiji University decided to excavate the Iwajuku site. On September 11, 1949, an archaeological team standing on the hill of Iwajuku challenged the previously unknown stratum, the Kanto Loam Formation, and finally confirmed that stone tools were excavated from that stratum. After that, an excavation survey was conducted in October of that year and in April of 1950, and the following was clarified by a series of surveys of the Iwajuku site. At that time, the oldest Jomon pottery was found at point C, which was a little far away, but it was found in the Loam Formation because it was contained in the black soil above the Kanto Loam Formation. It turned out that the stone tools at the Iwajuku site (points A and B) were clearly old. And since only stone tools were discovered without earthenware, it was thought to be from a different era from the Jomon period. In addition, two stone tool groups were discovered in the Kanto Loam Formation in different layers by excavation. It turns out that there are at least about 35,000 years ago (Iwajuku I stone tool culture) and about 25,000 years ago (Iwajuku II stone tool culture), and as early as this point, different cultural stages in the Iwajuku site era. I could have expected that the Iwajuku era would have been for a long time. (Original) 改めて3.5万年前と途方もない気の遠くなる程の昔の遺跡を前に博物館内にてシャッターをバチバチ撮っていました、岩宿時代の発見者である相沢忠洋氏には感謝したいです😆🎵🎵 素人ならではの発見だったんだろな～その努力と根性に脱帽です。 拝観は9時30分～17時 拝観料は310円 画像あり 駐車場有り トイレ有り みどり市HPより抜粋 遺跡の発見、発掘 岩宿遺跡は、群馬県みどり市笠懸町阿左美地内の琴平山・稲荷山という小さな丘陵が接する部分に位置しています。 1946年、切り通しの道となっていた岩宿遺跡を通りかかった相沢忠洋は、切り通しで露出していた赤土（関東ローム層）から、石器を発見しました。相沢はその後も、何度となくその崖を調査し、赤土の中から次々に石器を見つけましたが、土器が伴うことはありませんでした。当時は、1.5万年以上前の火山灰でできた関東ローム層の時代には、ヒトが住めなかったといわれていましたが、自分が確かめた事実を信じ、1949年の夏、ついに誰が見ても疑いようのない黒耀石の石槍を発見しました。 この発見は、いち早く東京の学者に知らされ、相沢さんと明治大学が岩宿遺跡を発掘調査をすることになりました。1949年9月11日、岩宿の丘に立った発掘調査隊は、それまで未知の地層であった関東ローム層に挑み、ついにその地層の中から石器が出土することを確認しました。その後、その年の10月、翌1950年4月にも発掘調査が行われましたが、こうした一連の岩宿遺跡の調査によって以下のことが明らかとなりました。 その当時、最も古いと考えられていた縄文時代の土器がやや離れたC地点から発見されましたが、それらは関東ローム層より上の黒土に含まれていましたので、ローム層から発見された岩宿遺跡（A・B地点）の石器は、明らかに古いことがわかりました。そして、土器を伴わず、石器だけが発見されるため、縄文時代とは違う時代のものと考えられました。また、発掘調査によって関東ローム層中に層を違えて2つの石器群が発見されました。少なくとも約3.5万年前（岩宿I石器文化）と約2.5万年前（岩宿II石器文化）の時期があることがわかり、早くもこの時点で、岩宿遺跡の時代に異なる文化の段階があり、その岩宿時代が長い時期にわたっていたことが予想できました

good museum. Start point of the Japanese paleolithic research.

Good news

(Translated by Google) I visited with my family on Saturday morning with my mother. I think this is the best museum for those who are interested in archeology. There were many exhibits that were interesting even for me and my daughter, who don't know much about it. Admission is free to a nearby probation facility. If you are going to the museum, please stop by. (Original) 土曜日の午前中に母を連れて家族で伺いました。考古学に興味関心がある方には，最高の博物館だと思います。あまり詳しくない私や娘でも興味をひく展示物が多々ありました。 近くにある遺購保護観察施設には、無料で入れます。博物館に行く方は、是非寄ってみてください。

(Translated by Google) This is an amazing facility where you can quietly appreciate the achievements of Tadahiro Aizawa, who overturned the established theories of Japanese history. I want Tamori to come. Wada Pass is famous for obsidian, and it is also impressive that it was transported from there to this area and found as stone tools. The mammoths and bighorn deer are also amazing. (Original) 日本の歴史の定説を覆した相沢忠洋氏の功績を静かに鑑賞できるすごい施設です。タモリさんに来てもらいたい。 黒曜石は和田峠が有名ですが、そこからこの地まで運ばれて石器として見つかることにも感銘します。マンモス、オオツノジカのあれもすごいす。

(Translated by Google) I'm excited to think that history has changed from this obsidian 💓 It's not a replica 👍 I haven't done a detailed investigation, but it's probably from Nagano Prefecture. When I asked about stones, a curator came and explained about andesite, chert, and shale. Thank you very much♪ (Original) この黒曜石から歴史が変わったのかと思うとドキドキ💓レプリカではありません👍詳しい調査はしていないけど、恐らく長野県産との事。石について質問したら、学芸員さんが来て安山岩やチャートや頁岩の説明をしてくださいました。有難うございました♪

(Translated by Google) Here you can check out the stones and excavation process of Japan's Iwajuku period. It is suitable for people who are interested in Japanese history. However, the entire square is not big, so you can finish the visit quickly. (Original) 在這邊可以查閱日本岩宿時期的石頭與挖掘過程，適合對日本歷史有興趣的人來參觀，但整個廣場不大所以很快就可以參觀完畢

It's free! The best attraction in Kiryu!

土日はいつ行っても駐車場がいっぱいで賑わっています。 雨の日でもたくさんのひとがいました。 無料の動物園でここまで本格的な動物園は初めてでした。料金を払ってでも入りたいなと思えます。 レッサーパンダがとっても可愛かったです。 園内の道はガタガタしていたり起伏が結構あるので、ベビーカーの方は大変かもしれないなぁと思いました。 (Translated by Google) No matter when I go on Saturdays and Sundays, the parking lot is full and busy. There were many people there even on a rainy day. It was my first time to see a full-fledged zoo in a free zoo. I think I would like to enter even if I pay the fee. The red panda was very cute. The roads inside the park are rickety and have quite a few ups and downs, so I thought it might be difficult for people with strollers.

一企業の尽力で無料施設を維持している姿に脱帽です。飼育員さんもとても感じが良くて、のんびり見学することができました。 山の上に駐車場があって、見学コースが少しずつ下に降りていく設定なので、また山を登り返すことになります。暑い日はちょっときついかな。水分は持って行ったほうがいいです。 ライオンの鳴き声って初めて聞きました。 (Translated by Google) Hats off to the efforts of one company to maintain a free facility. The keeper was also very nice and I was able to have a relaxing tour. There is a parking lot at the top of the mountain, and the tour course descends little by little, so you will have to climb back up the mountain. It might be a little tough on a hot day. It is better to bring water. It was the first time I heard a lion roar.

Floor is under tatami. Appears to be in midst of massive renovations. Very modern in places. Parking lot reserved for construction workers and visitors to the cemetery. Still worth the visit.

Not a first time visitor of Hotokuji but it was a first time to see everything light up on a chilly autumn evening. Absolutely beautiful and highly recommend this temple.

The whole place can be covered in under thirty minutes. The mirror-like polished floors that reflect the maple trees are indeed a pretty sight. Hotokuji Temple Kiryu, Gunma ¥1000/person ¥500/parking

the relaxing sound of furin (wind chimes) and the sound of Japanese cicadas make the summer heat more bearable. 🥲

Good place for photography. You can visit by bus. If you are coming by car, It is a 3 to 4-minute walk from the parking. There was enough space for the parking. Anyway, there were 2nd parking spaces also but a little bit ahead. Parking was free.

AUTUMN COLORS PERFECT TIMING VERY SATISFYING RELAXING VIEW YUKA MOMIJI THE BEST FOR FINDING PLACE TO CAPTURED JUST VISIT THIS PLACE SPECIFICALLY AUTUMN.

Beautiful place with several themed festivals that are worth a visit. I went for the wind chime festival. It was hot but a refreshing wind blew all the time. There's a little building to buy things that's air conditioned and in front was a big ventilator. There's a small parking lot down the road to the temple. I think there are more lots in the area.

Recommend : It’s not crowded in Golden Week. This is a small temple, which gives a deep impression. The staff are very friendly. You can see the blooming peony flowers, Bodhisattva. I like to come to such a wonderland in Golden Week. Recommend the corn that can be bought there. It is very sweet and juicy. Entry fee : ¥800 / person

I went there around Nov,7 It was beautiful. I recommend going there at day & night time.

Beautiful, nice, fresh, clean place

One of traditional spot in kiryu,where is smaller than you image.No Yatai here.

It's a cute, quaint little temple. if you're nearby may as well stop by and get your stamp.

good

(Translated by Google) A splendid shrine. The main deity is Sugawara Michizane. There are many cultural properties and historical materials. You can enter the parking lot in the shrine grounds from the side of the torii gate, but it is a little difficult to understand, so we recommend you prepare with a map or pictures. The goshuin stamp was received at the chief priest's home along the approach to the shrine. You can also get a stamp from Miwa Shrine, which is a concurrent company. My wife was very nice and took care of me. It seems that it also serves as a conferring office. For me, it's a sacred place and a tourist destination. But for the neighborhood kids, it's a daily routine. It appeared to be a route for elementary school students to go to school. (Original) 立派な神社様。主祭神は菅原道真公。多くの文化財や歴史資料があります。 鳥居の横から境内の駐車場に入れるが、少し判りにくいので地図や画像での予習をお勧めします。 御朱印は参道沿いの宮司様のご自宅で書き置きを拝受。兼務社の美和神社様の御朱印もこちらで。感じの良い奥様?に対応していただきました。授与所も兼ねているようです。 私には聖地で観光地の非日の場。でも近所の子供には日常。小学生の通学路になっているようでした。

(Translated by Google) This Kiryu Tenmangu Shrine is located in the old town area with stone pavement on the left side of the station as you enter Kiryu city, next to Kiryu Kogyo. I live in Ashikaga, but this was my first visit, and from what I've heard, it was a great spiritual experience. I had a friend who was emphasizing that it would bring extraordinary blessings for exams, etc., but when I actually came, I found that compared to the people who pray at other temples and shrines, the people who pray at Tenmangu Shrine are in front of the main hall. The time spent worshiping and praying was very long, with some people ignoring the line and praying for 2.3 minutes at the main hall, giving me a faint feeling that the rumors of unusual blessings might not be false. There are many old buildings such as storehouses and halls around Kiryu Tenmangu Shrine, and you can clearly see that it was once the center of Kiryu. There were many warehouses that had been renovated into cafes and shops, so you could see a glimpse of the bustle during lunch. It was amazing! (Original) この桐生天満宮は桐生市街に入り駅を左手に石畳がある旧市街エリア、桐生工業の横手にあります。 足利在住の私なのですが、初めての訪問になりまして、話によりますと大層霊験あらたかとのこと。 受験等では尋常じゃないご利益があると力説している知人がいたのですが、実際に来てみると他の寺社仏閣でお参りする人と比べてこの天満宮でお参りしている人は本堂の前で拝み、祈る時間がとても長く、中には行列を無視して2.3分本堂に祈る人も散見され、尋常じゃないご利益の噂は間違えではないのかもしれないとうっすら感じました。 桐生天満宮の周辺には蔵や館のような古い建物も多く、かつての桐生の中心地であったことがとても良くわかります。 蔵を改装してカフェやお店にしているところも多かったのでランチ時には賑が垣間見えました。 とても素晴らしかったです！

(Translated by Google) The main shrine has beautiful carvings. It's a real shame that I can't see it up close. However, it is a nationally designated cultural property, so I want to cherish it. I like the white dragon at the top of the shrine. This year is the Year of the Dragon, so I hope it brings you good luck. I prayed that your academic talent would improve. (Original) 彫刻が見事な本殿です。近くでじっくり見られないのが本当に残念です。でも、国指定文化財ですから大切にしていきたいですね。拝殿の上部の白龍がいいですね。今年は辰年ですから、ご利益があるとうれしいです。学問的才能が向上するように、お願いしました。

(Translated by Google) Kiryu Tenmangu Shrine is located in Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture. I decided to take a tour as it has been designated as a nationally designated important cultural property. I came from Utsunomiya City to Kiryu City on an overnight trip by car. In Kiryu City, I also visited "Hotokuji Temple". (Hotoku-ji Temple is also related to the samurai Kiryu clan, just like Kiryu Tenmangu Shrine) The year Kiryu Tenmangu Shrine was founded is a tradition, but it is said to be quite old, dating back to the era of Emperor Keiko (71 A.D. to 130 A.D.). It's old. It has a history of about 1900 years. amazing. However, it seems that this shrine did not exist in this current location. Later, in the beginning of the Nanbokucho period, the Kiryu clan, which I wrote about earlier, ruled this land as their territory, and the military commander Tsunamoto Kiryu (the founder of the Kiryu clan) moved the shrine to its current location and it became Tenmangu Shrine. (Samurai family/Kiryu clan's real surname is Fujiwara clan Northern family) Even further back in time, during the Edo period, it is said to have been a place of prayer for the Tokugawa family. The back of the main shrine was carved with extremely detailed and majestic wood carvings, making it a sight to behold. wonderful. This is definitely worth watching. By the way, this main shrine was built in 1789 in the middle of the Edo period. Try some gyoza ramen, Kiryu's local ramen, nearby, and then come and visit. I got it right and went home. Also, when I went there, an antique market was being held on the grounds. I bought two Shigaraki ware cups for drinking beer. Well, sorry for haggling. . But...that's the fun of going to an antique market. (If you look at the back of the cup... there is a scratched inscription that looks like katakana [tsu], but I don't know who the artist is) I think Kiryu city is good. (Original) 群馬県は桐生市に鎮座します「桐生天満宮」です。国指定重要文化財になっているとの事で見学です。 宇都宮市~桐生市に車中泊旅で流れて来ました。 桐生市では「宝徳寺」などと合わせて訪問しました。(宝徳寺もここ桐生天満宮と同じく武家の桐生氏が関係しています) 桐生天満宮の創建年は伝承では有りますが、かなり古く景行天皇の時代(西暦71年~西暦130年)の間と伝わります。古いですね。約1900年前後ぐらいの歴史です。凄い。ただこの神社は今のこの場所には無かった様です。 時代は下がり南北朝時代の初期、先にも書いた桐生氏がこの地を所領とし治め、武将•桐生綱元(桐生氏の祖)が、今のこの場所に神社を移し天満宮となったとか。(武家•桐生氏の本姓は藤原氏北家) さらに時代は下がり、江戸時代には徳川家の祈願所だったらしいです。 本殿の裏側辺りには非常に緻密かつ荘厳な木彫が彫られており壮観でした。素晴らしい。これはね、見る価値有りですよ。 因みにこの本殿は江戸時代中期の1789年に建造された物とか。 近くで桐生の御当地ラーメンである餃子ラーメンでも食べて、ブラリと訪れてみましょう。 自分はキッチリ頂いて帰りました。 また、自分が行った時は境内で骨董市が丁度開催されていました。自分はビール呑み用に信楽焼のコップを二つ買わせて頂きました。 まぁまぁ値切ってスミマセン。。でも…それが骨董市での楽しみですよね。 (コップの裏を見ると…カタカナの【ツ】の様な引掻き銘が有りますが、作家さんが誰だか分かりません) 桐生市良きかな。

(Translated by Google) I was ashamed to know Kiryu Ori for the first time. It is not as flashy as Nishijin weaving and Yuzen dyeing, but it has history and technology. There is a Kiryu Ori shop on the first floor, and there are a wide variety of products such as scraps, coasters, obi, etc., which is a must-see. (Original) お恥ずかしながら、初めて桐生織を知りました。 西陣織や友禅染めのように派手さはありませんが歴史や技術はあります。 一階には桐生織のお店があり、端切れからコースター、帯などと多種多様な商品があり、必見です。

織物の技術力の高さ！！素晴らしいです。5種類だか7種類高の技法があって、それぞれに特色がある。みたいなVTRをみせて頂けたり、１階の売店でもならではの色々なものが売っています。本の栞をいくつか購入して使っています。 (Translated by Google) High level of textile technology! ! That's excellent. There are five or seven different techniques, each with its own characteristics. You can see VCRs like this one, and the shop on the first floor sells various unique items. I bought some bookmarks and am using them.

The machine is something you must try by your hand.

(Translated by Google) Admission is free. The person in charge will guide you and explain the exhibits a lot. There is a textile-related shop on the first floor. (Original) 入館無料です。係の方が案内してくれて、展示物の説明を沢山してくれます。1階に織物関連のショップがあります。

自働織機の動く原理や手織り織機の糸の通し方を現物で体験できる。昭和40年前後のデザインパターンの現物のファイルを手にとって見ることができる。桐生の織物産業が最高の品質だと言うことを再認識した。記念館の建物それ自体も歴史的建造物で2階の展示室内のステンドグラスが美しい。 桐生市民は勿論服飾関係で仕事をする人たちに見てもらいたい。学芸員の方の説明も詳しくて深く理解できた。1階は桐生産の織物の展示と販売で2階で勉強してくると必ず買いたくなるので要注意❗(^^)/ (Translated by Google) You can actually experience the working principle of an automatic loom and how to thread a hand loom. You can take a look at the actual file of the design pattern around 1965. I realized again that Kiryu's textile industry is of the highest quality. The memorial building itself is also a historical building, and the stained glass in the exhibition room on the second floor is beautiful. I would like Kiryu citizens, as well as those who work in fashion, to see it. The explanation of the curator was detailed and I could understand it deeply. The 1st floor displays and sells paulownia textiles, so if you study on the 2nd floor, you will definitely want to buy it, so be careful ❗(^^)/

Impressed by the variety of weaving machines displayed at the premise.

(Translated by Google) Learn about tradition and the present and buy at a bargain price It's a nice place considering the building. It's an old building, so it's quite difficult from a barrier-free perspective, but you can learn about the history and present of Kiryu textiles. You can see it, learn about it, and even buy it. There are some items that are good value even if they are peeled off or have some problems◎ There are also wonderful accessories and things featuring Gunma-chan (^-^) Please come visit us when you come to Kiryu. it's recommended. (Original) 伝統と今を知れてお得に買えます 建物からして、素敵な所です。 昔の建物なのでバリアフリーの観点からはなかなか難しいですが、桐生織物の歴史と今を学べます。 見て知って、購入も出来ます。 はぎれや少々難ありでお得なものもあり◎ 素敵な小物やぐんまちゃんをあしらったものも(^-^) 桐生へお越しの際は是非。 おすすめです。

(Translated by Google) I was able to see various types of Kiryu weaving. You can not only see the precious looms, but also experience them. I was also able to learn about cutting-edge technology through videos. I learned a lot from not only seeing the exhibits but also listening to the explanations from the museum staff. On the first floor, small items are also sold at low prices, making it a wonderful place to incorporate Kiryu textiles into your daily life. I ended up buying a lot of things. (Original) 様々な桐生織を見ることが出来ました。 貴重な織り機は見るだけでなく体験することも出来ます。 さらに映像で最先端技術まで学べました。 展示だけでなく館の方の説明も聞けて勉強になりました。 1階では小物なども安価で売っており生活の中に桐生織を取り入れることが出来とても素敵です。 ついつい色々と買ってしまいました。

(Translated by Google) Kiryu is Japan's opportunity~❗ So, I went~❗ There are various looms, I really enjoyed it~♥ (Original) 桐生は日本の機処〜❗ というわけで,行ってきた〜❗ いろんな織機があって, なかなか楽しめた〜♥

(Translated by Google) There are exhibits of textiles and looms. I also had a brief experience with a loom. At the shop on the first floor, Wakeari's neckties were available at a good price. The scraps of the obi are beautiful and I think it's a great value. (Original) 織物や織機の展示があります。 織機はチョッとだけ体験もありました。 一階のショップで、ワケアリのネクタイがお得でした。帯の端切れも綺麗でナカナカお買い得だと思います。

(Translated by Google) On the first floor, stoles and ties were sold at low prices during the Christmas season. I purchased a Kiryuori jacquard tie and am looking forward to wearing it. They also sold scraps that looked good for lining leather bags, so I bought them as well. On the second floor, you can enjoy weaving experiences and the progress of Kiryu textiles in the past with DVDs and explanations from the staff. (Original) １階ではクリスマスシーズンでストールとネクタイが安く販売されてました。桐生織のジャガードネクタイを購入し、着けていくのが楽しみです。ついでに革鞄の裏地に良さげな端切れも販売してたので併せて購入しました。 ２階では機織りの体験と過去の桐生織物の経過がDVDや係員さんの解説で楽しめました。
