Stone Circle in Honshū
A stone circle with central stones lies in Hachiman-bara Dai-ichi Kōen (八幡原第1公園) playground, close to Sagae railway station. The Japanese domen-mania Ryūzō TORII regarded it as an artificial stone circle and an explanatory tablet stands beside.
Now his theory is rejected, and the circle is supposed to be a natural one, each stone is too large as the component of a Japanese stone circle.
