Suzuki Ruins Museum（Suzuki Remains Museum)
The Suzuki Site is a large-scale Paleolithic site formed in the center of the Musashino Plateau near the headwaters of the Shakujii River, and is known as a representative site of the Late Paleolithic period (38,000 to 16,000 years ago) in Japan, and was designated as a National Historic Site in 2021. Old stone tools and other artifacts excavated during the excavation are on display at a museum near the ruins. The site is now a school and residential area, but there is a signboard that reads “Suzuki Ruins Preservation Area” in a residential area about a 5-minute walk east from the museum.
