Gorōyama kofun Museum

The aunt of the staff in the facility gave us a very polite explanation. The atmosphere of exploring the passage that imitated the inside of the tumulus in Cantera was good. However, since it is only a dozen meters, you can't waste time other than watching the exhibition video, and it's free, so don't ask too much.

It was good because there was a parking lot, there was a video, and there was a guide.

It is a precious facility where you can see the inside of the stone room with a replica that is full-scale and faithfully reproduced. How free.

Goroyama Kofunkan is a historical experience center located in a residential area about 650 meters east of Harada Station. The location is a bit confusing. Goroyama Kofunkan was opened in 2001. Free entrance, there is a full-scale stone room model that reproduces the mural of Goroyama Tumulus, you can experience the mural inside the stone room where the color was reproduced by computer analysis through a dark envy with a cantera, very It's fun. For the handicapped and the elderly, the stone room is open for easy viewing. The staff in the building was not a curator, so I couldn't understand the details, but he was very kind. The Goroyama Tumulus has been restored to its original appearance, and the mound has been restored so that you can see the inside of the real stone room from the observation room. Goroyama Tumulus is a circular mound from the late Kofun period with a decorative mural of about 35m in diameter. It is unknown who the tomb was or who was buried. In 1947 (1947), the pit was accidentally depressed, and a mural was accidentally discovered inside a side-hole stone room by a landowner at the time, and was designated as a national historic site two years later. Ishimuro is a double room structure unique to northern Kyushu, consisting of an envy, anterior and posterior rooms. Almost nothing was left after being stolen, but it is unknown whether there was a sarcophagus or whether the stone room itself was a sarcophagus. The mural is painted on the passage from the anterior chamber to the posterior chamber and throughout the posterior chamber. The pattern is as if it were an epic, the murals painted in red, black and green are bohemian and the expression is lively. People, houseboats, horses, horses, houses, horses, horses, animals, concentric circles, etc. can be arranged freely, some of which show the spiritual structure of ancient people. After that she faded and now she can hardly see the mural. The meaning of murals is still a mystery, even half a century after its discovery.

The exhibition that diving into the stone room reproducing the real thing is wonderful. I am polite about the explanation of the guidance and questions and answers. Of course, the decorative tomb itself is very interesting. Say free.
