Toro is an archaeological site that brings the Yayoi period (c. 300 BCE–300 CE) to life with reconstructed pit dwellings and raised-floor buildings. Visitors can walk through the recreated village, seeing how people lived, farmed, and stored rice. The on-site museum displays pottery, tools, and other artifacts excavated from the area, providing context. It's a fascinating window into prehistoric Japan, offering a hands-on experience of ancient daily life.
