Tano Site, Archaeological site and museum in Amagasaki, Japan.

The Tano Site straddles the Amagasaki–Itami border on the Nishisetsu Plain near the old Ina River channel, at about 7 metres elevation, covering 115 m east–west and over 120 m north–south. Excavations found four circular pit dwellings from the middle Yayoi period, numerous small pits with pillar holes, and jar and wooden coffin tombs. The on-site Amagasaki City Tano Museum, opened in 1970, displays the finds and three-dimensional reconstructions of raised-floor warehouses, dwellings and burial mounds.

The site was discovered in 1965 during construction of a water station and dates to the middle Yayoi period. Excavations revealed that this location served as both a settlement and burial ground across several generations.

The site reveals how people lived during the Yayoi period and cared for their dead through specific burial practices. The scattered remnants of daily tools and storage areas show what mattered most in their communities.

The site lies near the old Ina River channel at about 7 metres elevation, spanning roughly 115 metres east-west and over 120 metres north-south. Access is by bus: from Hankyu Sonoda Station take bus 20, 21, 21-2 or 22 to the Tanokuchi stop, then walk about 15 minutes north; from JR Inadera Station bus 20 reaches the same stop in about 8 minutes. By car it is about 3 km northwest of the Toyonaka Interchange on the Meishin Expressway.

The first excavation uncovered human bones inside a wooden coffin, confirming a burial custom that had only been guessed at before. The site also yielded a fragment of a bronze sword mould and 632 jasper tube beads, now kept at the on-site museum.
