The Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan, recognized by UNESCO, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Jomon period, which lasted from about 15,000 to 2,400 years ago. These sites, including the Sannai Maruyama Site in Aomori City, provide invaluable insights into the sedentary lifestyles and spiritual practices of the Jomon people, who thrived on hunting, fishing, and gathering. Inscribed on the World Cultural Heritage List in July 2021, these 17 archaeological sites across Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, and Akita prefectures offer a unique window into pre-agricultural life in Japan.
