Tomb of King Gihon
Tomb of King Gihon submitted by Aska : Site in Kyūshū Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
A charnel house for Gihon (1206-?), the 3rd king of the proto-Ryūkyū Kingdom. There are 10 sites which are attributed to King Gihon’s tombs in Okinawa main island and also in Amami islands, Gihon might be an imaginary hero who suffered famine and plague then abdicated in myth. This tomb at the northern tip of Okinawa main island was modified in 19th C.
