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.

Try to catch the free guided tours which run every hour- that makes the visit so much more interesting! Unfortunately I think these tours are only in Japanese. Maybe they have translation devices, not sure. You can lend winter boots for free as well. PS: if you have the art museum ticket, you can avail a small discount here.

This site showcases Jomon period and displays buildings and artifacts that were found in the area. If you're interesting in history I highly recommend this place! They have an outdoor area which shows the recreated buildings and some artifacts that were found. In the indoor area they showcase more artifacts that date back to as far as 5000 BCE that are in pretty good shape. They also show the staff building up a jar from fragments which shows the amount of works that goes into creating the exhibits. There's on site parking as well as a cafe.
