The Iwajuku Dome is a protective facility showcasing the Iwajuku archaeological site, a pivotal location that revolutionized Japanese prehistory. Discovered by Tadahiro Aizawa, the site revealed stone tools from the Paleolithic era, proving human habitation in Japan much earlier than previously believed. At the Iwajuku Dome, visitors can view a preserved cross-section of the Kanto loam layer and watch an informative video about life during the Iwajuku period. Located near Iwajuku Station, it's an accessible and educational stop for those interested in Japan's ancient past. The facility is free to enter, making it a worthwhile visit before exploring the Iwajuku Museum.
