Negoyadai Site, Archaeological site in Utsunomiya, Japan.
The Negoyadai Site occupies a right fluvial terrace of the Sugatagawa River, containing multiple pit dwellings and a large necropolis with 339 grave pits.
Excavations between 1982 and 1988 revealed remains from the Jomon period, including stone earrings, cylindrical beads, and various stone implements from prehistoric settlements.
The necropolis features clusters of five to ten grave pits organized around a central plaza, indicating structured burial practices of ancient Japanese communities.
Visitors can reach the site within 30 minutes by car from Utsunomiya Station, where reconstructed pit dwellings and a dedicated park area await exploration.
The rectangular raised-floor structures discovered at the site extend up to 24 meters in length, suggesting complex architectural capabilities of Jomon period inhabitants.
