Akyu Site
Historic Site/Japan Heritage
Akyu site is the village and stone monument site dating to the Early Jomon Period (c. 5,000?3,500 BC). The rescue archaeological projects from the Chuo expressway construction from 1975 to 1978 revealed a large number of pit dwellings and circular stone clusters. Although part of this site is currently underneath the expressway, this site was designated National Historic Site in 1979. Some of the artifacts are stored and exhibited at the Yatsugatake Museum of Art.
