Shakadō Sites, Archaeological site in Fuefuki and Koshu, Japan
The Shakado Sites contain extensive dwelling foundations, burial grounds, and thousands of artifacts from Japan's prehistoric inhabitants across multiple excavation areas.
Construction of the Chuo Expressway in 1980 led to the discovery of 255 pit dwellings and over 10,000 stone tools from the Jomon period.
The site holds 1,116 dogu clay figurines representing humans and animals, making it one of Japan's most productive locations for these ancient artifacts.
The Shakado Museum of Jomon Culture displays over 5,000 archaeological pieces and operates daily from 9 AM to 5 PM with entry fees of 200 yen.
The excavation project involved more than 20,000 people, including professional archaeologists and local volunteers, working continuously from February 1980 to November 1981.
