Himamori Jinja shrine
Himamori Jinja shrine submitted by Aska : Site in Kyushu Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
Beside the main building of a small shinto shrine in a residential area not far from Fukuoka airport, 2 flat stones are placed.

These are believed as the remains of dolmens which were removed from the original positions during the cultivations.
