in Honshū A Shintō shrine attached with a playground in the commune of Ochi, near Asuka district. Instead of main shrine building, there stands a sacred “Sakaki” tree (Cleyera japonica ) surrounded by a stone rectangular enclosure placed on a rock block pedestal. It might be a rock version of ancient Shintō shrine style ‘himorogi’ (神籬) plant altar.
