A fireplace in a ruin of a residence is reconstructed like a stone circle (36.01294N,138.23259E). A neighbouring commune Yosuke-one (与助尾根遺跡, 36.01454N,138.23308E) is reconstructed as it was. A symbol stone, called Hijiri-ishi (=Sacred stone 聖石, 36.02834N,138.23965E), of another commune was discovered 3km away from here.
A museum which exhibits a clay figure called Jōmon Venus is attached. Open 9:00-16:30, closed on Mondays and the days around the New Years Day. Admission 500 Japanese Yen.
