Tsukahara Ruins

Tsukahara Ruins is an archaeological museum in Seki displaying excavated items from the area, including pottery, tools, and burial objects. The site also features reconstructed structures that show how early inhabitants lived on the location.

Excavations in the 1980s revealed settlement evidence spanning from the Jomon period through the Kohun era at this location. The findings show that people inhabited this area across several ancient time periods.

The site features reconstructed pit dwellings and burial grounds that show how people lived in ancient Japanese settlements. Walking through, you can see the layout of homes and understand the everyday routines of these early communities.

The museum sits east of Senbiki Bridge and is straightforward to reach. Visitors should plan to explore during daylight hours, as the outdoor reconstructed areas are best viewed when there is good natural light.

Visitors can participate in pottery workshops where they create their own vessels using traditional methods. This hands-on experience allows you to understand the skills that ancient artisans needed.
