Shidami Kofungun Experience Museum

Approximately 200 tumuli were constructed in Nagoya with a third of them (66) confirmed in Kamishidami, Moriyama-ku; and seven--known as the Shidami Kofungun (Shidami Tumulus Group)--are designated national historic landmarks.
The Shidami Kofungun occupies a narrow range of 1.7 km from east to west and 1 km from north to south, consists of tumuli built from the beginning of the Kofun (tumulus) period to its end, and is one of the rarest clusters of tumuli in all of Japan. The Shidami Kofungun Historical Area has been maintained to preserve the tumuli.
The Shidami Kofungun Historical Area is something like a true-to-life encyclopedia in which you can actually walk around tumuli seeing their various characteristics and differences by the period they were built such as shape and size.

The Shidami Kofungun Experience Museum (known as "SHIDAMU" for short) opens in the Shidami Kofungun Historical Area on April 1, 2019. The hands-on establishment offers exhibits of burial goods and clay sculptures unearthed from the Shidami Kofungun, as well as ancient interactive activities letting you experience the Kofun period such as dressing up in the clothing of the time, making magatama beads, and building fire. You can also go out to see actual tumuli together with a guide, and install the Go! Go! Shidami Kofungun smartphone app to go back in time to the Kofun period with AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) functions. The inside of the museum also offers the Kodomo Kofun kids' space where small children can become familiar with tumuli, and a cafe/restaurant in addition to the exhibition room and hands-on areas.
