History / CultureMuseums

    On July 27, 2021, the 44th World Heritage Committee (held online) decided to register the Jomon Ruins in Hokkaido and Northern Tohoku as a World Heritage Site, including the Goshono Ruins. The Goshono Ruins, a large settlement site from the middle of the Jomon period, is designated by the government. The park has been restored to its original state, including pit dwellings and stone circles. At the museum, you can learn about the Jomon period, the Goshono ruins, and the culture of this area. The wooden pedestrian bridge that connects the ruins to the parking lot, ``Kikiki no Tsurihashi,'' is also worth a visit. Sobacchi went to the Goshono ruins!

Inside the museum, there is an exhibition corner displaying bamboo crafts such as backpack baskets and flower vases, as well as a bamboo crafts room where you can try your hand at making bamboo crafts.

    Fuji of Fujishima

    A huge Nodafuji tree with beautiful branches is located in Kotoridani in the town. The tree is said to be several hundred years old, and in 1932, when it was designated as a natural monument, it had a root circumference of 3.3 meters. It used to get tangled in the branches of a neighboring wig, but that branch has died, so it is now supported by a steel-framed wig. Because it is an old tree, the main trunk has become thinner than before, but new branches have grown, and when the flowering season comes, the smoldering purple flower clusters droop, creating a magical appearance.
