#Yoshinogari Historical Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Yoshinogari Historical Park
For those who are interested in history.
This is a huge park in Saga prefecture.
There many areas and it seems especially good to take kids to spend the day.
There is a replica of a Yayoi era (200 BC - 300 AD) village. There's some information in English but most of it is in Japanese.
Since the grounds are huge, there's a bus every 20 minutes running around the park.
The staff is super friendly and go out of their way to make your experience a nice one.
There are 2 parking lots. Parking at the East (main) entrance is more convenient.
Entrance fee for adults is 410 yen (as of August 2022).
If you like history, that's a great place to spend a few hours.
