Ochikawa Heritage - Hino

Ruins with only a signboard. It was a park style, but it was a mysterious place that no one can see.

It is a place where you can feel the ruins of an old house ❗️

It is very difficult to read the letters on the explanation board because of the sunburn. I don't think there's anybody here on weekdays during the daytime, or even on Sundays and holidays (no one was actually there). I can't see the seriousness of Hino City.

There are no playground equipment as it is a ruin. There are no people.

It is a site with ruins from the 7th to 9th centuries, but it is not managed at all. On the asphalt laid on top to preserve the archeological site, it seems that the position of the archeological site was shown in different colors with paint for each age, but it has almost been peeled off due to aging. It was hard to read the explanation version and the faded letters, and the wooden bench did not sit down. It is dead as both a ruin and a park. Although telling the history of the region is a business that does not directly benefit, it is too bad.

It seems that there was a remains in a small park in the gap of the housing complex, but it is backfilled and nothing can be seen, and the signboards for explanations are faded and not preserved, which is a terrible situation. The benches that are provided as a park are also rotten, and I doubt what the archaeological park is for. Shouldn't the city administration maintain it a little more without spending money? The following shows the explanation that was on the signboard Ochikawa Ruins, a historic site designated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Location: 819 Ochikawa, Hino City Designated February 24, 1987 Unlike the plateaus and hills that are abundant in the Tama area, this site is a rare site located on the alluvial plain. Settlement began on the alluvial plain from the end of the 4th century to the beginning of the 5th century, and since then, settlements have been continuously carried out until the beginning of the 14th century. It is considered to correspond to the area designated as Onogo centered on Ono Shrine, Musashi Ichinomiya, which is located about 300 meters east. In addition, it is presumed to be a site related to "Onomaki", which can be seen in the 17th year of Enki, in "Nihon Kiryaku". The excavated remains are the remains of a pit building, the remains of an excavated pillar building, the remains of a well, a blacksmith's furnace, the remains of a ritual, etc. A large amount of agricultural tools such as sickles, hoe and plow, weapons such as iron swords and daggers, and horses have been excavated as relics, and these relics and relics are valuable for clarifying the dwelling relationship of samurai groups. It is thought to be a clue. March 1, 2006 Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education

The Ochikawa site was discovered in December 1977 (Showa 52) during the construction of a Toei Ochikawa house. The area of ​​the ruins extends to the neighboring city of Tama, and the area is thought to be more than 750,000 m. The Tama City side is called the Ichinomiya Ruins, and when it straddles both cities, it is called the Ochikawa Ichinomiya Ruins. Around the Ochikawa site, natural levee formed by the Tama and Asa rivers and alluvial highlands have reached. The people who lived here have secured their place of residence and farmland by making full use of their terrain against frequent floods and floods and making full use of advanced hydraulic technology. The remains found in the metropolitan residential area include about 500 pit buildings and about 100 digging pillar buildings, as well as wells, blacksmith furnaces, ditches, and fields. They were run from the Kofun period to the Heian period, and the process of their transition is very interesting. The excavated relics include many earthenware such as earthenware, Sue pottery, ash glaze pottery, and Chinese porcelain, as well as farm tools, armor, and abundant iron products such as everyday items, wood products, and stone products. There are various things. In this way, the Ochikawa site is an ancient large-scale and valuable settlement site that represents the eastern country. Ochikawa Heritage Park
