A stone circle was moved from a village submerged in a dam lake, to the backyard of an exhibition facility "Jōmon-no-Sato Asahi (Asahi, the village of Jōmon peroid(145c -10c BC))", aka "Okusanmen Rekishi Kōryū-kan (Okusanmen (=name of the sunken village) memorial-community hall)". The Achiyadaira circle is supposed to have been built around 40 to 15 BC.
