Yaze Site, Archaeological site in Tone County, Japan
The Yaze Site features remains of a complete settlement with cemeteries, ritual locations, and water areas connected to ancient springs.
Between 3500 and 2300 years ago, inhabitants of this Jomon period settlement constructed 22 pit dwellings arranged in northern and southern zones.
The settlement contained over 100 stone graves and multiple structures, including an altar-like stone formation near a water source used for food preparation.
The archaeological area forms part of Yase Tsukiyono Water Park, with reconstructions of pit dwellings accessible via Jomo-Kogen Station.
A specialized water system lined with river stones created ponds where inhabitants removed tannins from seeds such as acorns and walnuts for consumption.
