Antokudai Site

Antokudai Site is an archaeological site in Nakagawa where excavations have uncovered residential buildings, pottery pieces, and ancient tools scattered across the ground. The finds show how early communities organized their settlements and daily activities in this location.

The site was discovered during construction work at the Nakagawa Interchange and contains settlements from the Yayoi period. This era saw communities developing agriculture and establishing more complex social structures across Japan.

The site features remnants of agricultural practices, storage facilities, and ceremonial areas that indicate structured social organization among early Japanese inhabitants.

Information about the site is available through local museums and guided tours that explain the findings and excavation process. Plan your visit ahead to learn about current access conditions and what you can see on the ground.

Ground Penetrating Radar technology was used to map the subsurface structures without extensive excavation. This technique revealed the exact layout of buildings and pathways across the settlement.
