Goshono Site, Archaeological site in Ichinohe, Japan.
The settlement features over 800 pit dwelling foundations spread across 75,000 square meters on a river terrace along the Mabechi River at 190 meters elevation.
Discovered in 1989 during industrial park construction, this middle Jomon period settlement from 2500-2000 BCE received National Historic Site designation in 1993.
The central area contains stone circles surrounding burial pits with ritual structures, indicating complex ceremonial practices of Jomon period inhabitants.
The Goshono Jomon Museum displays excavated pottery, stone tools, and features a glass floor revealing a 4200-year-old burned pit dwelling.
The 120-meter Kikiki Bridge leads visitors across a narrow valley with a stream to reach this settlement surrounded by chestnuts and walnut trees.
