Niigata - Hita Historic Site - Kamafuta Site (near Joetsu Myoko Station)

#5月好去地方2025 The Kagai Ruins are part of the "Hita Ruins Group", a nationally designated historic site located in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture. It is only about a 10-minute walk from Joetsu Myoko Station, making it very convenient to reach. This was once a large settlement site from the Yayoi period to the Kofun period in ancient Japan. Because a large number of residential remains, shell mounds, tombs and artifacts were discovered, it was considered an important local stronghold at the time. The ruins area is now very tidy, with a wide rural landscape and trails. There are also stone tablets and explanation signs for the "Kagai Ruins" on site. It is a quiet spot where you can take a walk and learn about local history. Standing in the fields and overlooking Myoko Mountain, it is also interesting to feel the ancient people's site selection and living space. There is no entrance fee here, and there are few tourists, but it is a "hidden version of the ruins in Joetsu" that is worth visiting. 📍Address: Around Yamato 5-chome, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture (about 10 minutes walk from the east exit of Joetsu Myoko Station) 🕰️Opening hours: open all day (no fence, free to visit) 💰Fee: Free #Kaguai Ruins #Hitai Ruins Group #Joetsu Myoko Station Attractions #Niigata Historic Sites #Japanese Yayoi Period #Joetsu Historical Walk #Joetsu City Attractions
