There is a local materials room on the second floor of Friend Hirao.
The Local Materials Room has four exhibition rooms, and each exhibits information about the history of Inagi and the people of Inagi. This is a place where you can see if they were living a peaceful life. You can also see specimens of Inagi insects and photographs of plants.
If you want to learn more about Inagi, please come visit us.
The museum displays 12 themes covering the history of Inagi from prehistoric times about 20,000 years ago to the Edo period. Pottery and stone tools discovered from ruins, roof tiles used at Kokubunji temples in the Nara period, models of kilns used to fire roof tiles, and ancient documents from the Edo period are on display.
