On July 27, 2021, "Jomon Sites in Hokkaido and the Northern Tohoku Region," including the Goshono Ruins, were decided to be inscribed on the World Heritage List at the 44th session of the World Heritage Committee (held online).
The Goshono Ruins, a large settlement site from the middle Jomon period, is designated by the government. In the park, pit dwellings and stone circles have been reconstructed as they were in those days. At the museum, visitors can learn about the Jomon Period, the Goshono Ruins, and the culture of the area. The wooden pedestrian bridge "Kiki-ki-no-tsuri-shi" connecting the ruins and the parking lot is also worth a visit.
