Required time

Enjoyable for Half a Day with Just Exhibits!

The Sannai-Maruyama Ruins have many attractions, and if you want to enjoy all the exhibits and experiences, you'll need a full day. However, if you only want to stroll around the ruins, you can enjoy it in about two hours, so those with limited time should enjoy the outdoor ruins such as the pit dwellings. On the other hand, if you want to enjoy gourmet food, exhibits, and experience programs, it's recommended to allocate more than a day.
