The Sakaida Shell Mound contains layers of ancient shells, pottery fragments, and stone tools spread across a designated archaeological area in Tsuzuki Ward.

During excavations at the Sakaida Shell Mound, researchers discovered artifacts from the Jomon and Yayoi periods, providing evidence of prehistoric settlements in the region.

The shell mound reveals information about ancient dietary habits, with excavated materials indicating the consumption of seafood and the use of pottery for food preparation.

Visitors can access the site through designated pathways while observing archaeological excavation areas, though certain sections remain restricted for preservation purposes.

The integration of this archaeological site with a modern park creates an educational space where visitors can learn about ancient Japanese settlements through interpretive displays.
