Uji River Taikō Embankment Site, Archaeological site near Uji River, Japan
The excavated site features stone embankments stretching over 250 meters along the eastern bank of the Uji River, incorporating advanced engineering methods.
The embankment construction occurred between 1594 and 1596 under Toyotomi Hideyoshi's direction as part of extensive flood control measures for the Uji River.
The site contains detailed evidence of Momoyama period construction techniques, including stone walls similar to those used in castle architecture.
Visitors can explore three distinct areas of the archaeological park, which includes informative displays explaining the engineering and historical aspects.
The excavated remains reveal two different types of riverbank protection: stone-built embankments extending 85 meters and wooden stake reinforcements.
