Miyamachi Site, Archaeological excavation site in Koka, Japan
The Miyamachi archaeological site contains stone foundations and wooden tablets that document ancient Japanese administrative practices and social structures.
The location became significant in 745 when Emperor Shomu designated the area as the capital, constructing an imperial palace complex in this region.
Discoveries of Mokkan tablets at the site provide detailed information about tax payments, transactions, and daily activities of ancient Japanese society.
The archaeological area is accessible through Shigarakigushi Station on the Shigaraki Line, with regular bus services stopping at the Gushi bus stop.
Excavations revealed over 300 preserved foundation stones arranged in a pattern similar to Buddhist temple layouts, including Todai-ji architectural elements.
