古代の日本をテーマにした広大な公園、という印象が強いかもしれません。勿論、発掘された、あるいは発掘調査中の遺構を間近に観察することは出来ますが、公園の至る所にそのような遺構が点在すると考えると、ガッカリするかもしれません。学術的なスポットと言うより、体験型学習的なスポットとして捉えた方がいいかと思います。そのため、親子で利用するのが一番楽しめると思います。周囲に遺構が無いだだっ広い芝生の広場もあり、ボール遊び等に興じる子供も多く見られます（勿論、火器の使用は厳禁です）。 体験型学習的なスポットよろしく、復元された住居に入って、当時の生活ぶりを体感することが出来ます。その他、常時ではありませんが、古代の服を作ったり石包丁等の生活雑貨を作ることもできます（全て有料で参加可能な人数に制限があります）。ほとんどの展示に英語での説明が併記されているため、海外からの観光客でも充分に楽しむことが出来ます。 園内は無料で利用可能なシャトルバスが運行されているため、お年寄りや障碍を持つ方でも気軽に利用できます。一方、電車で訪れる場合、神埼駅及び吉野ケ里公園駅が最寄り駅ですが、両駅からやや距離があります。駐車場は広く充分な数の車を停めることが出来るため、車で訪れた方がよさそうです。

You may have a strong impression that this is a vast park with the theme of ancient Japan. Of course, you can observe up close the remains that have been excavated or are under excavation, but you may be disappointed to think that there are numerous such remains scattered throughout the park. I think it would be better to think of it as a hands-on learning spot rather than an academic spot. For this reason, I think it is best enjoyed by parents and children. There is a large grassy plaza with no remains around, and many children can be seen playing with balls (of course, the use of firearms is strictly prohibited). As this is a hands-on learning spot, you can enter a restored ancient dwelling and experience how people lived in those days. You can also make ancient clothes and stone knives, though not always (There is a fee for all activities, and the number of visitors is limited). Most of the exhibits are explained in English, so even tourists from overseas can enjoy them. Free shuttle buses service is available within the park, making it easy for the elderly and disabled to use. On the other hand, if you are visiting by train, the nearest stations are Kanzaki Station and Yoshinogari Koen Station, both of which are some distance away. The parking lot is large enough to accommodate a large number of cars, so it is better to...

The park is way bigger than one would expect (maybe) and if you love history, certainly make your way out here. They even have workshops and I loved the one I joined because I love stones. Seeing the Yayoi life in the past was a good experience. You can walk around the park to check out the old houses and the ancient burial. There is a roving bus. There’s a big part of the park that’s good for kids (or so the guide at the community center told me because I didn’t explore that part)....
