Experience details
It is known that the earliest people in Japan lived through hunting. However, for such hunting communities to form a more organized society and eventually become a nation, as in any part of the world, settlement on land and agricultural activities were necessary.
The Yoshinogari Ruins, which you will visit on this tour, provide significant evidence of the development of communities after the introduction of rice cultivation in Japan. This site illustrates how these communities formed through settled life and were governed through religious practices. The Yoshinogari Ruins are among the most important archaeological sites in Japan's history.
Numerous foundations of buildings, traces of ritual spaces, and various treasures have been discovered at the site, all of which speak to the prosperity of this place, even now, to those who visit. These remains are carefully protected, and to make the historical significance even clearer, large buildings have been reconstructed at the site.
On this tour, you will visit these reconstructions and explore the ruins with a guide. Over the course of two hours, you will be able to fully experience the strength and mystique of ancient Japanese culture. The guide, a local expert fluent in Japanese, will ensure you can enjoy the experience without any concerns.
