忍路環状列石, Archaeological site in Otaru, Japan
The Oshoro Stone Circle spans 33 meters north-south and 22 meters east-west, forming an elliptical shape on a gentle slope at 20 meters elevation.
Discovered in 1861, the site underwent its first scientific excavation in the 1880s by Sutero Tauchi, a student from Sapporo Agricultural College.
The stone arrangement features large rocks standing 1 to 2 meters tall in the inner circle, with smaller stones forming an outer ring.
The site remains open for viewing throughout the year, though winter visits present difficulties due to weather conditions and limited accessibility.
Over 80 stone circles exist between Otaru and Yoichi, with the Oshoro Stone Circle standing as the largest among them.
