The massive remains contain reconstructions of a large-sized pit dwelling and symbolic three-layered, pillar-supported buildings from the Jumon period (approx. 5,500-4,000 years ago) . It is also a famous spiritual place with energies from the past. This archaeological site is open to public all year long. A highly recommended place to stop by when you come to Aomori.

Pit dwellings, housing in the Jumon period

We call these type of houses pit-dwellings, inhabited during the Jumon period and dated to approx. 5,500-4,000 years ago. The floor was created by digging the ground. There was a fireplace in the middle. Since the arrangement, position of pillars and fireplace vary depending on the period, it would be interesting to see how they differ.

Large, pillar-supported building, a landmark of Sanni Maruyama Site

This large pillar-supported building is a symbolic monument in the Sannai Maruyama Site. The hole, where a pillar made of chestnut tree wood was inserted, measures approx. 2 m in diameter and is 2 m deep. Each pillar hole is separated 4.2 m from each other. The pillar itself measures approx. 1 m in diameter. Because the site had rich underground water and the surface and the bottom of the wooden pillars were burned, they stayed intact all there years!
