| OYU Stone Circles |
the largest stone circle in Japan |
|
This is a large stone circle from the late Jomon period (about 4,000 years
ago) located in Oyu, Kazuno City. There are two double-structure stone
circles on the plateau: the Manza Stone Circle (maximum diameter 52meters)
and the Nonakado Stone Circle (maximum diameter 44meters). They are made
by arranging stones from a nearby riverbed in a circle. There is a sundial-shaped
group of stones inside the stone circle, and it is thought to be a kind
of sundial because the sun sets on the summer solstice. It is thought to
be a large cemetery because grave goods such as clay figurines and ritual
tools have been discovered. It was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage
Site in 2021. |
