Ae Kanga ruins, Archaeological complex in Kasuya, Japan.
The Ae Kanga ruins contain foundations of administrative buildings with rectangular enclosures measuring 180 meters by 200 meters, surrounded by moats and earthen ramparts.
The site dates from the 8th century AD and served as a government administrative center during the Nara and Heian periods under the Ritsuryō system.
The architectural layout of the complex reflects the centralized administrative structure of ancient Japan, with designated areas for official functions and tax storage.
The archaeological site stands a 15-minute walk from Jōyō Station on the JR West Nara Line, with excavated sections now preserved for public viewing.
Excavations in 1973 revealed that what was initially thought to be a Buddhist temple turned out to be a governmental office complex with large pillared structures.
