拝ケ石巨石群

The Ogamishi Megalithic Site contains multiple large stones strategically positioned along elevated terrain, forming a significant archaeological complex in Oita Prefecture.

The stone formations date back to the transition period between the Jomon and Yayoi eras, approximately from 1st century BCE to 1st century CE.

The megalithic structures at Ogamishi provide evidence of ancient religious ceremonies and social practices of early Japanese settlements in the region.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through guided tours, with detailed information available at the local tourist office in Usa City.

Research indicates that these stones were deliberately shaped and positioned by human hands, rather than being natural formations in their current locations.
