Visit an important archaeological site and learn about the people who lived here around 6,000 years ago at Sannai-Maruyama Site, a Special National Historical Site of Japan. First settled around 3900 BCE and abandoned in 2300 BCE, the area displays many examples of human development, showing the growth of the culture from a hunter-gather community into a more sedentary one. See the underground food stores and pit dwellings that marked the temporary hunter-gatherer settlement, and the long houses and overground food storage areas that show the development into a more sedentary way of life. Discovered in 1992 when builders were surveying the area with a view to building a baseball stadium, the archaeological site includes reconstructions, a museum containing artifacts, and a wealth of explanatory information panels.

Early and Middle Jomon period 15000 to 5000 yrs ago settlement excavated on 1992 reveals the advance civilization at that time and a very peaceful one. Short light walk around the site.

Amazing historical site with remains and reconstructed buildings from the Jomon period (approximately 4000 years ago). Was very interesting and informative. Great place to walk around and experience what life would have been like back then. Well worth the trip to get there on the bus as it was free to enter! Would definitely recommend a visit.
