Understand

[edit]

The Jomon culture existed in the northern part of Japan from about 13000 BCE until 3000 BCE. A hunter-fisher-gatherer culture, it has left behind an archaeological heritage of remains of residential buildings, places of worship and burial including large stone circles as well as different objects of everyday use and art.

The four prefectures below jointly run the official multilingual information site.
