Toyoda no Tachi Site

Toyoda no Tachi Site is an archaeological excavation in Ōshū containing well-preserved remains from the Jomon period. The site spans multiple excavation areas set within a natural landscape with nearby forests and waterways.

The site contains settlement evidence dating back roughly 15,000 years when Jomon communities occupied northern Japan. These findings help explain how people adapted to life in this region during one of humanity's earliest periods.

The pottery and tools found here show how Jomon people lived and worked in daily life. These objects reveal skills in crafting, fishing, and hunting that were important to their communities.

The excavation areas are open for visitors and researchers to view findings at close range. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for changing weather conditions typical of the natural landscape.

This location reveals a distinctive pit dwelling arrangement pattern that differs from other Jomon settlements across northern Japan. These variations in settlement layout provide researchers with clues about how communities organized their spaces differently.
