Comment One of Japan's most historical sites, Sannai Maruyama is located in the south-west of Aomori Prefecture. This village was inhabited from around 3500 BC in the early Jomon Period to 2000 BC, in the mid-Jomon Period. Visitors can experience the changes in the village and people's lifestyles through remains excavated from the site. In November 2000, the village was listed as a national archeological site. Today a large structure supported by pillars, symbol of the village, and 10 tombs have been restored. The complex also has an exhibition room, a hands-on experience room, kiosk, restaurant and rest area.
