Hara Kanga Ruins, Archaeological site in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
The archaeological complex spans across 500 meters east to west and 400 meters north to south, featuring an 8-meter wide central road and structural foundations.
The administrative center operated from the 7th to 11th centuries during the Nara and Heian periods, serving as a regional government facility under the Ritsuryō system.
The excavation site contains foundations of granaries, stables, a kitchen, and a banquet hall, revealing the administrative practices of ancient Japanese governance.
The preservation of artifacts remained excellent due to continuous agricultural use of the land, leading to 35 excavation campaigns since its discovery in 2001.
The site represents the second known instance in Japan where an administrative complex exists alongside a ritual site, featuring the Nishi-Fuchibe ceremonial grounds.
