Kogasaka Stone Age Ruins

The site where the remains of stone-floored dwellings were first discovered in Japan in 1925. Located in southwestern Machida City, the Kogasaka Stone Age Ruins consists of three sites that made up a Jomon period village: the Roba Ruins, Inariyama Ruins, and Hachimandaira Ruins. The stone-floor dwellings from the middle Jomon period discovered at the Roba Ruins can be viewed through the glass of a roofed shelter. Designated a National Historic Site, this was the first of the ruins to be discovered and is valuable to archaeological research on ancient habitation structures.
