Sanbe Azukihara Buried Forest Museum
三瓶小豆原埋没林公園
Giant, ancient trees from the Jomon period
Around 4,000 years ago Mt. Sanbe erupted covering the surrounding lands and forests in volcanic ash. In the exhibition hall of Sanbe-Azukihara Buried Forest Park you can view the long trunks of giant trees, that were once buried during the Jomon period (14,000~300 BCE), and were said to have once towered over the surrounding areas. You can understand the threat the volcano posed over the surrounding area and feel the richness of the forest in those days.
