What to Expect

Sannai Maruyama is the largest Jomon site in Japan. It is still an active archaeological site and there is much to see and do here. Outside there is a reconstructed village where you will see houses and other buildings from the period, as well as graves, thousands year old pottery fragments and an amazing tower. Inside is a museum showing the original artifacts. Here you will get a deep understanding of the daily lives of the Jomon people. After the museum, we'll head down to where the archaeologists work. If we're very lucky, we'll see them working on artifacts.

If you are interested and have time, there is also an opportunity to do Jomon inspired craft (extra cost).

There is a souvenir shop and also a cafeteria. I highly recommend the chestnut soft ice cream!
