Sengo ruins, Archaeological site in Kamijo, Fujinomiya, Japan
The Sengo ruins extend along a north-south ridge at the southeastern base of Mount Fuji, containing twenty pit dwellings arranged in a circular pattern.
The settlement dates from the early to middle Jomon period and received National Historic Site designation in 1975 following systematic excavations in the 1970s.
The excavated foundations reveal a structured community layout with dwellings measuring between three to 7.3 meters in diameter, centered around a 50-meter plaza.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking the Fujikyu Shizuoka Bus from Fujinomiya Station to the Oishiji-mae stop on the JR East Minobu Line.
A layer of volcanic ash from Mount Fuji covered the entire settlement approximately 4000 years ago, contributing to the preservation of the archaeological remains.
