Hōenzaka Site, Archaeological excavation site in Ōtemae, Osaka, Japan.

The Hōenzaka Site contains preserved structures and artifacts from the 5th century, including elevated warehouses that demonstrate ancient Japanese construction methods.

Excavations in 1987 revealed extensive remains of Naniwa Palace structures, contributing to the understanding of early Japanese urban development and architectural practices.

The location near the Osaka Museum of History enables visitors to explore artifacts, documents, and reconstructions that illustrate daily life during the Kofun period.

The site maintains regular opening hours, provides guided tours in multiple languages, and offers educational programs for students and researchers.

The warehouses discovered at Hōenzaka represent the earliest known examples of raised-floor storage structures in Japanese architectural history.
