Nakoku-no-oka Historical Park

The Nakoku-no-oka Historical Park encompasses extensive archaeological remains, including 116 pot tombs, nine earthen pit tombs, and wooden coffin burials from the Yayoi period.

In 57 CE, the local Nakoku kingdom received an imperial seal from Emperor Guangwu of Han, marking its status as a recognized state within the Han Chinese sphere.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed significant artifacts including bronze mirrors from China's Western Han Dynasty, glass beads, magatama pendants, and Yayoi pottery.

Visitors can reach the archaeological park by taking a 20-minute walk from Minami-Fukuoka Station to explore the preserved burial grounds and historical exhibits.

The site contains over 300 ancient graves, with several coffin tombs and ritual remains displayed in their original excavation positions for educational purposes.
