HYPER LOCAL NAGOYA
Welcome to “Oh yeah, I know that feeling” – a series where we explore relatable experiences and moments that make us say, “I have a similar experience!” Today, we take a trip to Nagoya’s southern district and uncover a hidden gem that most locals have yet to discover! At the Nagoya City Miharashidai Archaeological Museum in Minami-ku Nagoya City, there has been a “tateana-style dwelling” on display since 1979. It is definitely a valid question to wonder why such a dwelling was built in this location. Today, we would like to take a hyper-local perspective and explore the “tateana-style dwelling” that is likely unknown to anyone but locals from a local resident’s viewpoint.
When we were young, everyone must have thought at least once “I want to go inside a pit-dwelling!”
That’s why most people have climbed over the fence at least once!
Hang on. Why only a couple? Children must have lived here too!
Who would have thought that a tateana-style dwelling would be here? It’s like a punchline to a joke!
I used to play here thinking it was also a ruin from the same era.
And then it turned out that this ruin was actually from the Pacific War era!
I’ve hardly ever seen anyone in charge around here.
By the way, there are surprisingly several famous spots around here.
However, most people who are not residents of Minami-ku are not aware of the Miharashidai Archaeological Museum and the pit house!
Let’s promote it more! Many Nagoya residents still don’t know about this tateana-style dwelling, which is an undiscovered gem!
While you may not have experienced exactly the same thing as me, you may have a similar place or memory from your own local area that resonates with this story!
