The Chubu district which situated in the midst of Japan, is the most important district in prehistoric Japan. For this district is the contact region of Jomon's folk and Yayoi's folk. I researched from the point of view of landscape changes what contrast had seen between Jomon's folk who lived by hunting and food gatherings, and Yayoi's folk who lately invaded this district by means of agriculture. In this paper I tried to make the distribution's map of each age's relics and reconstracted the prehistoric landscapes and recognized the regional character of this district in Prehistoric Age by projecting these each age's relics. In the First Chapter I tried mainly the reconstraction of each age's landscape, and recognized the important significans of the river routes. Then in the Second Chapter I described the distribution in each area in Chubu-district and the contrast between the Settlement of Jomon's and Yayoi's folks.
