Ankokuji Village Ruins

The settlement remains contain more than 300 post holes indicating residential buildings situated on terraced land formed by the Tabuka River.

The excavation site, discovered in 1920 during land reclamation, reveals a settlement that existed from the Yayoi period to the early Kofun period.

The location produced a specific type of Yayoi pottery with comb patterns on double-rimmed pots that became the reference for similar findings in eastern Kyushu.

The archaeological park includes reconstructions of ancient buildings and a museum, located 25 minutes by car from Oita Airport.

The swampy soil preserved organic artifacts including wooden tools, architectural elements, plant seeds, and carbonized rice from ancient agricultural practices.
