The Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan, including the Sannnai Maruyama site, were inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List on July 27, 2021.

Japnese in Jomon-era have hunter-gatherer cultures, most of scientsts had the hypothesis that the old Japanese comprised small, unsophisticated groups of nomadic people. But, The Sannnai Maruyama site shows the hypothesis is incorrect. The site in Aomori Prefecture contains the ruins and reconstruction of a massive Jomon Period settlement. You can understand why the old Japanese can go on the lifestyle after you visit the site.

Aomori prefecture produces 50 million tons of apples annually, which accounts for more than half of Japan’s annual apple harvest. But Aomori isn’t just the national leader in apple quantity, but their is also the best quality in the world. It’s often said that Aomori-made apples are the most delicious in the world. People who visit from abroad are surprised by the difference between Aomori apples and those back home.
