Ōmori Katsuyama
Ōmori Katsuyama submitted by Aska : Ugly reproduction as a part of the the “World Heritage Site” (Vote or comment on this photo)
A great (approx 45m diameter) stone circle excavated during 1959-61 and again in 2006-08. Then the site was buried back into the earth. In 2021 it was registered as an entry of the Jōmon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now replica stones have been placed on the site like Tabata stone circle but the replica stones are ugly and far from reality. They look quite different from other Jōmon stone circles.
