Miyahata Site

The Miyahata Site stretches across a river terrace along the Abukuma River at an altitude of 60 meters, containing multiple excavated dwelling structures.

The archaeological excavations in 1997 revealed over 40 pit dwellings from the middle Jomon period, dating back approximately 4,500 to 4,000 years ago.

The remains include pottery fragments, burial jars, and clay figurines that demonstrate the exchange of traditions between different regions of ancient Japan.

The site features reconstructed buildings and a museum where visitors can examine artifacts and learn about the discoveries from different Jomon periods.

Researchers discovered a large squared plaza measuring 45 by 60 meters, surrounded by raised floor buildings from the final Jomon period.
