The national treasure, flame pod, was excavated at the Sasayama archaeological site in Tokamachi.
At the Sasayama archaeological site, dugout shelters from the Jomon Period has been restored. You can enter and imagine yourself in the lifestyle of the Jomon period.
Moreover, at the Sasayama Jomon Museum located within the archaeological site, you can learn about the history of the site’s discovery and the characteristics of the national treasure, flame pod.
On this day, there was an event organized by Tokamachi City Museum. I met families engaging in hands-on experiences of Jomon period living.
