Hiraide Ruins

One of Japan's three main sites along with the Yoshinogari Ruins in Saga and the Toro Ruins in Shizuoka. The strip extends about one kilometer from east to west and about 300 meters from north to south. It was the site of a large settlement from the Jomon period to the Heian period. To date, nearly 300 features and artifacts have been excavated, including pit dwellings, structural remains, earthenware, and stoneware. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1952. Currently, part of the site has been improved and restored as the Hiraide Ruins Park. It has numerous facilities giving visitors an experience of life in those ancient days.
