It's located in Shikinzan Park, home to the Kishibe Tile Kiln Site, known as a kiln that supplied roof tiles for the construction of the early Heian Palace. For a municipal facility, it's an impressive building, with exhibits on history and folklore. Many municipal museums are free, but given the scale and exhibits, I think the price is very fair. There are free admission days too. It was great to come across exhibits you rarely get to see elsewhere, such as Sue ware, roof tiles, life-size displays of different types of kiln sites, the Gotanjima site, which was a major port from before Naniwa Horie on the opposite bank of the Yodo River, and a kofun with a burial chamber made of wood.

A municipal museum in Shikinzan Park. The exterior is quite an impressive building. It leans heavily toward being a history museum, but there are also exhibits on Suita City's culture and folklore. There are two permanent exhibition areas; the first exhibition room mainly introduces Suita's history from ancient to modern times. Sites like the Tarumi site and the Tarumi-minami site near Esaka, now buried in the middle of the city, are quite interesting. In the second exhibition room, the Nanao Kiln, built in ancient times for firing Sue ware, is recreated as a life-size model, and you can see the inside up close. There was also a special exhibit on "Life and Schools of the Past.

The exterior is an impressive 3-story building, but the museum exhibits take up only one floor, the 3rd (the rest are meeting rooms?). The permanent exhibits cover ancient sites and history, and admission is 200円. Isn't this facility running at a loss? Are the floors other than the 3rd even being used?

A museum showcasing local history. There are many exhibits on the Jomon and Kofun periods, and there was also a recreation of a kiln rooted in this area

A hidden gem of a museum. It's paid, but cheap. And it's empty. I wonder why it's so empty? It's a mystery. The big staircase at the entrance catches your eye. There's an elevator, so you don't have to climb the stairs. Many of the exhibits are models and such, and nothing's too difficult, so they're easy to look at. There are exhibits you can go inside or touch. You get a rough overview of Suita's history from ancient times to the present. It's not too big, just the right size. There were fun exhibits too, like an old bathtub and an old-fashioned kitchen. In the book corner there was a cloth picture book of folk tales, which was a real labor of love. The way things are displayed felt similar to the Imashirozuka museum in Takatsuki. Takatsuki's is free and a bit smaller. Having a park next door is similar too. Also recommended for people who want to visit a museum but don't have any strong particular interest, and just want a rough look for little money. It's not the kind of place you'd go to again and again, but it's worth going once. There were some young people who looked like they were on a date. You can park for free in the park's outdoor parking lot. The parking entrance is one-way, so it might be hard to find with navigation. Entering a nearby school or the like into your navigation makes it easier. There's a gate at the parking entrance, so for a moment you wonder, is it okay to go in? But it's fine. From the parking lot, go through a tunnel and you reach the museum. The museum appears at a dead end. It felt like a little amusement ride? A hidden spot? It was fun Visited on a weekend in September
