In the outdoor area of the Oshorino Site, reconstructed pit dwellings recreate a Jomon-period settlement. You can see the architectural ingenuity of the era up close, such as dwellings with earth-covered roofs, and experience the scale of actual Jomon life. The spacious grounds allow for a leisurely, family-friendly stroll. In summer, the scenery is surrounded by refreshing greenery.
Tips
Just a short walk from the Oshorino Jomon Museum. Some outdoor areas have little shade, so bring a hat. Next, move to the Jomon Forest within the grounds.
