The Kitayatsu Site (北谷遺跡, Kitayatsu iseki) is an archaeological site with the ruins of a Kofun period residence located in what is now the Higashimachi neighborhood of the city of Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture in the northern Kantō region of Japan. It was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2005, and extended in 2020.[1] It is contemporary with the nearby Hodota Kofun Cluster which has a separate National Historic Site designation.
