Goshono Jōmon Park, Archaeological park and museum in Ichinohe, Japan.

The 75,000-square-meter archaeological site contains over 800 pit dwelling foundations arranged around a central ceremonial area with stone circles and burial grounds.

The settlement dates from 2500 to 2000 BCE during the Middle Jomon period, discovered in 1989 during industrial park construction and designated as National Historic Site in 1993.

The excavations uncovered numerous artifacts including pottery, stone tools, burned animal bones, and seeds that detail the daily activities of Jomon period inhabitants.

The site features a museum with a glass floor viewing area, reconstructed dwellings, and guided tours available on weekends and holidays from May through October.

A 120-meter suspension bridge called Kikiki Bridge leads visitors across to the archaeological site, positioned on a river terrace at 190 meters elevation.
