Koma Village Stone Age Dwelling Site, Archaeological site in Hidaka, Japan.

The site contains multiple circular pit dwellings with a diameter of 6 meters, positioned at 110 meters above sea level near the Koma River.

Excavations that began in 1945 revealed foundations of ring-shaped settlements dating back to the middle Jomon Period, approximately 4,500 years ago.

The discovery of pottery, stone axes, tools, jars, sickles, plates, and jewelry provides detailed information about daily life during the Jomon period.

The archaeological site stands next to Koma Station on the Seibu Railway Ikebukuro Line, making it easily accessible for visitors to Hidaka.

Two notable dwellings, labeled No. 5 and No. 6, contain preserved stone hearths and burial pits beneath their floors, revealing construction methods.
