Makimuku ruins, Archaeological site in Sakurai, Japan.
The Makimuku ruins extend across three square kilometers of land, featuring ancient structures, burial mounds, and remnants of waterways from early Japanese civilization.
Dating from the third century, this settlement contains evidence of the transition period between the Yayoi and Kofun eras, marking significant changes in Japanese society.
Excavations at Makimuku have revealed pottery fragments, ceremonial buildings, and ritual objects that demonstrate the connection between early inhabitants and Mount Miwa.
The ruins require independent transportation to visit as there are no direct public transit options or designated parking facilities near the archaeological site.
Only five percent of the total site area has undergone excavation, leaving extensive sections unexplored and maintaining potential for future archaeological discoveries.
