On April 22, 2026, Amami City in Kagoshima Prefecture officially reopened the nationally designated Ushuku Shell Mound Historic Site Park. Following extensive renovations, the facility now integrates advanced digital technologies, including a 24-meter-wide large projection, VR for experiencing Jomon period life, and AR for visualizing ancient structures. It serves as an interactive hub for tourism and historical education, expanding its role from merely viewing ruins to physically experiencing them, while also functioning as a base for promoting SDGs.
