Overview

The site is located on a river terrace of the Hashiki River, near the centre of the present city of Hakui. It covers a large (20 hectare) area, and contains settlement remains from the early, middle and later Yayoi period, indicating a continuous settlement for over 2000 years. Excavation surveys indicate that the village survived in some form into the Heian period. The foundations of raised-floor buildings, warehouse, small and large tombs, wells and other structures have been discovered, but there is no indication of pit dwellings. A large amount of pottery was discovered, along with artefacts such as agricultural implements, an iron axel, stone axes and bronze mirror.

The site is now public archaeological park with several restored structures to form a tourist attraction.
