Hashimuregawa Site

Jūnichō, Japan

The Ibusuki Hashimuregawa Site (Ibusuki Hashimuregawa iseki) is a complex archaeological site with traces from the Jōmon and Yayoi Periods, located in the Junicho neighborhood of the city of Ibusuki, Kagoshima Prefecture Japan. It was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1924 under the name Ibusuki Site, but the area under protection was expanded in 1996 and the name changed to its present name. It is famous as the site that first academically clarified the relationship between the Jōmon and Yayoi periods, which had not been clear until then.
