A Time Slip into the Past ？ ！ Experiences offered at the History Experience Center

The following is an introduction to the experiences offered at the History Experience Center.

■ Fire Making （ 45 minutes, maximum 24 people, free of charge ）
In the program held on weekends and holidays, you can experience mainly the Umigiri method of fire making. In the Umigiri-style fire-starting, fire-starters are made using a bow-like tool. It takes a lot of physical strength to make a spark, but the sense of accomplishment when the fire is lit is exceptional.

You can try on the costumes of people from the Kofun period. There are three types of costumes: kantou gowns (v1265> kantoui ）) worn by common people of the time, hu clothes (v1465> kofuku ）) worn by those in power, and miko clothes (v1665> miko fuku ）) worn by miko (priestess) who performed rituals. The miko-fuku is especially popular among girls. The costumes are available in sizes from adults to small children.

■ Excavation Experience （ Experience time 45 minutes, maximum 12 people, free of charge ）
