Rate this destination:
The Sannai-Maruyama is a historical site that is considered to be the largest and the most preserved Jomon Period village in Japan.
It mainly features the remains of a long-term settlement from early to middle Jomon Period. When an excavation was made in 1992, pit-dwellings, large pit-dwellings, burial pits for adults, burial jars for children, mounds have been found.
The village was then reburied and the reconstruction of pit dwellings, long houses, and large towers were started on top.
In November 2000, the site was designated as a special historical site by the Japanese government.
