Experience making algae salt / Restoration exhibition hall of ancient salt making ruins

Reproduce the origin of salt making

It is located on Kamikamagari Island on the Akinada Tobishima Kaido. It all began with a piece of pottery found on the beach in 1982. This pottery, which was the bottom part of an ancient salt-making pottery, along with the salt-making ruins (Okiura ruins) that were excavated later, became a clue to unraveling the romance of ancient times. The Ancient Salt-making Ruins Restoration Exhibition Hall is an exhibition hall that has been restored so that the ancient pottery salt-making ruins can be viewed in the same condition as when they were excavated, and is covered with a roof. In the seaweed salt-making experience, you can experience the ancient salt-making method of concentrating seawater using seaweed (Hagawara) soaked in seawater and pottery. You can experience the excitement of making it with time and effort, the natural taste, and the romance of ancient times.
