What Is the Idojiri Ruins?
The Idojiri ruins is located in Fujimi, Suwa county, Nagano in Japan's Koshinetsu region.

It was registered as a national historic site in 1966.
There is also a stone monument in the park from when it was designated as a historic site.
Many archaeological sites were created due to the need for spring water from Yatsugatake, around Idojiri ruins.
It had been said that people in the Jomon period (14000 BCE to 300 BCE) hunted and gathered.
An archeologist from Suwa, Nagano protested the theory that people hunted and gathered in the Jomon era, and a study of Idojiri ruins as well as Jomon ruins in the central highland have led to a new theory that people in the Jomon era farmed.
What Is a Pit House?
Construction of a pit house begins by excavating a pit in a circle or square.
Add several poles to make the framework of the house, and finally, use soil and reeds to make the roof and walls.
