Ozakotsujibaru Site, Archaeological site in Hita, Japan.
The excavation area extends across a plateau at 120 meters elevation in the northern section of the Hita Basin, Oita Prefecture.
Archaeological investigations in 1985 uncovered three moated residential compounds from the late 3rd to early 4th century, representing the oldest discovered in Japan.
The site contains multiple structural remains, including post-hole buildings and burial mounds from different periods spanning the Paleolithic to medieval eras.
The archaeological site is accessible via the address 2-6-1 Tajima, Hita City, Oita Prefecture, near the Oita Expressway.
Each residential compound features distinct square moats, with the largest measuring 47 meters on each side and containing evidence of multi-pillar buildings.
