Moro Heritage Site, Archaeological site in Jōhoku Chūō Park, Tokyo, Japan.
The Moro Heritage Site contains excavated stone tools from the Paleolithic period within a forested area next to the Shakujii River.
In March 1951, student Hiroshi Takizawa discovered obsidian tools at the site, leading to the second Paleolithic survey conducted in Japan.
The stone tools found at this location established the term Moro knife in archaeological studies, indicating specific crafting techniques from ancient Japan.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through Jōhoku Chūō Park, with informational boards explaining the discoveries near a commemorative stone column.
The collection of 22 excavated stone tools received classification as tangible cultural properties of Tokyo in 1999.
