Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Kyūshū
In the precinct of Kibettō Jinja shrine, large and small stones lie and stand. Among them, two huge stones are called "Umi-no Ishi (Stone from the Sea)" and "Yama-no Ishi (Stone from the Mountain)", he former seems to be a capstone of a dolmen.
The strange atmosphere of the stone-crowded shrine looks like the stones of Sanmyō Jinja shrine in Ōita prefecture and Maruyama Hachiman Jinja shrine in Tokushima prefecture.
