Kurube Government Offices Site, Archaeological site in Oyachi, Yokkaichi, Japan.

The Kurube Government Offices Site contains foundations of more than 80 structures across a walled compound measuring 42 meters by 51 meters.

Established in 2006 as a National Historic Site, this administrative complex dates back to the late 7th century during the centralized governance of Japan.

The site layout reflects Chinese architectural influence and demonstrates the implementation of the Ritsuryō administrative system in ancient Japan.

Archaeological excavations began in 1999 when construction work on Japan National Route 1 revealed numerous pillar buildings beneath the surface.

The complex includes a moated enclosure on the eastern hill slope that contained granaries for storing tax rice from the surrounding region.
