Komakino Site, Stone circle archaeological site in Aomori, Japan.
Three concentric stone rings spanning 55 meters in diameter stand on an artificially leveled plateau overlooking the Aomori Plain at 160 meters altitude.
The settlement dates from the Late Jomon period around 2000 BCE and contains over 2400 stones arranged in the distinct Komakino style pattern.
The site reveals sophisticated engineering skills through its precisely arranged oval stones in vertical and horizontal positions forming multiple circular structures.
The Aomori City Komakino Site Preservation Museum displays excavated artifacts and remains open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM except during December 29 to January 3.
Archaeologists discovered over 400 triangular stone plates used in ceremonies, along with numerous pottery coffins and ritual objects throughout the settlement area.
