Tateishi-sama, Sacred boulder in Tateishi, Tokyo, Japan.
Located in a children's playground, Tateishi-sama is a stone made of Boshu-ishi tuff material from Mount Nokogiri in Chiba Prefecture.
During the Edo period, this stone measured over 60 centimeters tall and served as a navigation point for travelers crossing the region.
Local residents regularly place coins and food offerings at the stone shrine, maintaining centuries-old traditions of worship and respect.
The stone monument stands within a 10-minute walking distance from both Keisei Tateishi Station and Aoto Station in Katsushika Ward.
Fragments of the stone were collected during the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars as soldiers believed they provided protection from bullets.
