上行寺東遺跡, Archaeological site in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.

Jokogyo Higashi is an excavated settlement site in Yamaguchi Prefecture containing remains from ancient Yayoi period communities. The location displays pit houses, post holes, and farming areas that show how early groups organized their spaces and worked the land.

The site contains occupation layers from the late and middle Yayoi periods, representing early phases of Japanese settlement patterns. Evidence shows the area was inhabited and farmed across multiple generations by successive communities.

The artifacts reveal how people made pottery and tools for everyday use in these ancient settlements. Visitors can see from the pit house layouts how residents organized their daily activities and community spaces.

The site is open to visitors interested in learning about early Japanese settlements, with information boards explaining the main discoveries. Check locally before visiting to confirm access, as archaeological sites sometimes have restricted entry depending on ongoing work.

Three pit structures at the site bridge an important transition between two major periods in Japanese history. These distinctive features help researchers understand how daily life changed as communities moved into new cultural phases.
