The advancement of agricultural techniques triggered numerous social changes, including in human interaction and living conditions in the village, the creation of social ranks, and disputes between villages. Due to its strategic location, local government offices were later established in Kurube, and studies show that the village existed for a long period from the Yayoi Period to the Middle Ages. A study of the conditions in the village during the Yayoi Period provides glimpses into social conditions at the time.
