陰陽石, Sacred rock formation in Kobayashi, Japan.
The Yin-Yang Stone exhibits natural patterns of light and dark minerals within its structure, situated among the volcanic formations of Kirishima Geopark.
The rock formation emerged through volcanic processes within the Kirishima mountain range, which has recorded eruptions dating back to 742 CE.
Local residents consider this geological formation a representation of cosmic duality, reflecting the traditional Japanese concept of complementary forces.
Visitors can reach the Yin-Yang Stone through marked trails within Kirishima Geopark, with guided tours available from the nearby information center.
The stone's natural mineral composition creates a distinct pattern that aligns with the astronomical phenomena observed during specific seasonal changes.
