Yoshinogari Site covers a large area with many villages. People began to settle around Yoshinogari during 4th century BC. As it grew to be several villages, they built diches around the area to protect from outside attacks. Replica of some buildings were built for the tourists in parts of the site but the digging and research is still ongoing.
