Modern Stone Circle / Monolith in Honshū
A feudal landlord ASAKURA clan set their town in a deep valley during the 14th century, and then many cultural refugees settled here escaping from Kyōto in disorder during the civil war period (late 15th – late 16th c) and this town thrived as another little Kyōto. After the battle with Nobunaga ODA (1534-1582), the great conqueror and the unifier, ASAKURA clans deserted this town. This site has been excavated since 1967. The gardens contain 4 groups of stone settings, they originally belonged to each independent houses and a temple whose buildings had been rotted away.
A museum attached. Official site of the museum in English
