Iba Ruins, Archaeological site in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

The Iba Ruins contain multiple remnants from the Yayoi period, featuring post holes indicating raised floor buildings adapted to marshy terrains.

The site was discovered in 1936 during construction work and underwent extensive excavations between 1947 and 1948, leading to its designation as National Historic Site.

Excavated artifacts include stone tools, bone needles, wooden implements, and Yayoi pottery with distinct comb designs that reveal daily life patterns.

Visitors can reach the archaeological park by walking 13 minutes from Shimoji Station on the JR Iida Line to explore reconstructed Yayoi period structures.

The site spans 330,000 square meters of alluvial lowland near Toyokawa River, with numerous artifacts preserved under layers of sediment through centuries.
