Why not tour the "Jomon Sites" by Hakodate Bus?

The “Jomon Sites of Hokkaido and the Northern Tohoku Region,” which was registered as a World Cultural Heritage in 2021, is an important heritage site that serves to pass on to future generations the lifestyle and spiritual culture of the people who settled in this region over 10,000 years ago by fishing, hunting and gathering. Why not take a Hakodate bus to visit the Jomon Sites, which are located approximately 1 hour 40 minutes from the city center?

Opened in 2011, the Hakodate Jomon Culture Exchange Center permanently exhibits the National Treasure “dogu” hollow clay figurine, Hokkaido’s first national treasure. In addition to displaying and exhibiting approximately 1,200 artifacts excavated from various archaeological sites in Hakodate, the center also offers guidance by staff and a hands-on learning corner to help visitors learn more about the lifestyle and culture of the time.
