Kanenokuma Site

The Kanenokuma Site is an archaeological location in Fukuoka Prefecture where burial vessels and other ancient objects from prehistoric times were uncovered. The grounds clearly show how people buried their deceased here long ago.

This site dates back to prehistoric times and shows one of the oldest settlement layers in the region. Research has provided important insights into early Japanese inhabitants and their burial practices.

The burial jars here show how ancient people honored their dead and what rituals mattered to them. You can see today how carefully these vessels were arranged, which tells much about the community and its values.

The site sits in an open area where excavations were done and archaeological remains are visible. Visitors should expect this to be a research area and pay attention to marked sections.

The high concentration of burial vessels in one place makes this a rare and valuable site for archaeologists. This quantity of containers helps better understand the social structures and customs of that ancient community.
