Руины Томидзавы, Archaeological site in Taihaku-ku, Japan.

The Tomizawa archaeological site contains preserved remains of a fossilized forest and human settlement dating back 20,000 years beneath ground level.

Archaeological surveys in 1988 revealed an ancient campsite during preparations for school construction, leading to the establishment of the museum in 1996.

The museum dedicates 2,700 square meters to displaying coalified materials from ancient campfires, stone tools, and interpretations of prehistoric landscapes.

Located at 4-3-1 Nagamachi-minami, the site charges 460 yen for adults and opens from 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., except on Mondays.

The basement area preserves the original fossilized forest and human activity traces through groundwater, maintaining their exact prehistoric condition.
