The Torinuma Site, located in Higashi-Torinuma, Furano, Hokkaido, dates back to the Jomon period. Accessible by a 10-minute bus ride from Furano Station, the site is situated on the Furano city side of Torinuma Park. While signage identifies the area as a burial ground, detailed explanations are lacking. It's best visited after Golden Week (early May) to avoid snow cover, which can obscure the low-lying signage. Visitors interested in historical sites will find this a worthwhile, if somewhat understated, stop.
Period: Jomon
