ABOUT
The Jomon World, Shared with the Whole Community
Two days to retrace a trading harbor that has connected people for thousands of years.
The Nuchinuwa Jomon Festival imagines the Chatan Town Museum as a "home port" of the Jomon period, when people, goods and culture traveled across the sea. Visitors retrace some 7,000 years of exchange as crafts, food, performing arts, welfare and education come together in one harbor for a festival everyone can take part in.
