If you use public transportation, it's about a 40 minute bus ride from JR/Nishitetsu Kurume Station and get off at Fukushima High School. The number of trains is relatively high, approximately every 20 minutes.
Stones in the shapes of people and horses, which are rare even in the country, have been unearthed, giving us a renewed sense of the strong historical connection between Kyushu and stone, including stone bridges and porcelain.
It has also been featured on a certain TV program and has been attracting attention in recent years.
Inside the museum, which is free to enter, there are artifacts and videos that introduce the Ishijin Sekiba, ancient tombs, and the background to the Iwai Rebellion.
The great thing about this place is that most of these valuable excavated items designated as important cultural properties are kept in the custody of the National Museum, but most of the excavated items such as the stone man and stone horse can be seen here at Mt. Iwato. is.

福岡県八女市の北西部福島地区にある古墳群について展示紹介している施設だが、レクリエーションの場としても活用されており八女市の文化的総合施設と言ってもよい。
公共交通機関だとJR・西鉄久留米駅からバスで40分くらいの福島高校前で下車してすぐ。本数はおよそ20分ごとと比較的多め。
全国でもめずらしい人や馬などの形をした石が出土されており、石橋や磁器をはじめとした九州と石との歴史的な繋がりの強さを改めて感じさせられる。
また、某テレビ番組でも紹介がされており近年注目を集めている。
入場料無料の館内では石人石馬や古墳、磐井の乱が起きた経緯について、出土品や映像によって紹介されていた。
ここのスゴいところは、この手の重要文化財指定の貴重な出土品は大体国立博物館預かりになるが、ほとんどの石人石馬などの出土品はこの岩戸山で目にすることが出来るのだ。
入り口が厳重密閉されたり暗室状態だったりした理由がよく分かった。
映像では磐井の乱はヤマトに単純に反旗を翻したのではなく、朝鮮半島との外交の駆け引きを行っていたため、出兵の命令を下したヤマトとの対立により起きてしまった内乱だという説明がされていた。
