West Area 7

Mikkaichi Sites A are from a broad area of settlements dating from the Jomon Period (12,000BC - 500BC), Yayoi Period (500BC - AD300), ancient times and the middle ages. Uncovered here were pit-type dwellings, homes with posts dug into the ground, cylindrical pits, and circumference grooves built around the end of the Yayoi period in the 3rd century.
A noteworthy find is a section of the ancient Hokuroku Road, one of the public roads existing in the Nara (710-794) and Heian (794-1185) Periods. It was 8m wide with ditches on both sides. A survey found that this section was approximately 530m long.
At the section of settlements dating from the Muromachi Period (1336-1573), residences including homes with posts dug into the ground, tateana (pit-type) sites, and wells were discovered.
