The city's local history museum was built in 1972 among the Yamahata Kofun Group. Its grounds hold Yamahata Tomb No. 22 and other tombs, all designated by the city, and have been used as an outdoor garden. The tombs of the group have a stone chamber entered from the side, and pottery, horse fittings and ornaments have been found.
02 ／ Watermills
On the western slope of Mt. Ikoma, the watermill industry developed from the Kan'ei era (1624-44). In the Zushidani valley along the Otogawa River, 44 waterwheels are said to have stood at the peak, from the late Meiji period into the Taisho era, and they ground Chinese herbal medicines and spices into powder. A full-size waterwheel was restored in 2004.
03 ／ Temple ruins
These are the ruins of an ancient temple founded in the mid-seventh century. Excavations reconstructed a Shitennoji-style layout, with the pagoda and main hall in a north-south line. The pagoda's platform was originally 10.7 m on a side and 1.4 m high. Analysis of excavated tiles shows the main hall and corridor date to the mid-seventh century and the pagoda to slightly later.
