Explore reconstructed Jomon houses in the Tama Hills area

The Tokyo Metropolitan Archaeological Center is a museum featuring earthenware and stoneware found in western Tokyo’s Tama New Town area. In the exhibition hall, visitors can discover the culture of the Jomon period (10,000 B.C.E-300 B.C.E.) while browsing the excavated artifacts. Kids are especially sure to love the interactive area with installations to enjoy hands-on, such as fire-igniting tools and pottery puzzles.

The adjacent Jomon Village, an archaeological site garden, features a village recreated based on remaining artifacts from the Jomon period. Fires are lit regularly in the three pit houses, and even the forest here has been recreated as it would have appeared in the Jomon period. Located just a five-minute walk from Odakyu/Keio Tama Center Station.
