Stone Row / Alignment in Honshū
Far beyond the hamlet of Izumi (4km), on a col of a mountain with splendid view of Gokasho-wan (五ヶ所湾) bay, rocks are rolling in a winding line on altitude 225m level. The huge boulders in the line seem to be the natural outcrops but small and flat stones look like the ones of Gyōja-yama alignment 4km away, thus this might be one of the artificial stone wall around Gokasho-wan.
This alignment is not described in the town's gazetteer unlike the other ones, but only plotted on the map (see the attached image, "列石(=stone wall)" on the right edge) included in the "Kōgo-ishi(神籠石)" research file kept at Aisu-no-Yakata (愛州の館) museum (34.35540N,136.702108E). Thus the precise site name is unknown.
To climb up to this site, take the right path on the fork 34.36253N,136.73514E, further path from 34.36485N,136.74033E is interrupted by an electric fence guarding an orange grove.
