Site tours

The Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan consist of 17 archaeological sites: 6 in Hokkaido, 8 in Aomori Prefecture, 1 in Iwate Prefecture and 2 in Akita Prefecture. There is also one associated archaeological site in Hokkaido and another in Aomori.
Most of these prehistoric sites are blessed with a rich natural environment that’s characterized by vegetation and geological features reminiscent of the Jomon period, allowing visitors to reflect on the livelihood of people in those days and to enjoy the seasonal natural beauty and various events held there. Another appeal is that people find something new with every visit.
There’s more than one way to enjoy these prehistoric sites. You may want to visit them in order of chronology, type (e.g., settlement sites or stone circles), or location. Or you may choose to revisit your favorites again and again.
On a tour to any of the sites, you won’t want to miss the chance to stop in at the visitor facilities near the site. They provide detailed information on the site and archaeological excavations, and display many artifacts unearthed there, such as pots and clay figurines. Tour guides are available at some facilities.
