Near the Mukibanda site is the sites of the Yayoi Period, Japan's largest settlement. Its size, Yoshinogari site, that there five times.
Kamiyodo Hakuhono Oka Museum is part of Buddhist wall paintings and Buddha statues that were excavated from the site of Kamiyodo Haiji, on display inside the main hall have been restored to full size. Kamiyodo Haiji is a temple that was destroyed by fire around 1000 AD by the waste was built around 700 AD.
