音江環状列石, Archaeological site in Sapporo, Japan
The Otoie Stone Circle consists of multiple stone arrangements forming geometric patterns within a circular formation in northern Hokkaido.
Dating back to approximately 1000-300 BCE, this archaeological site contains stone formations that reflect construction methods from Japan's prehistoric period.
The stone formations at Otoie demonstrate the advanced understanding of geometry and astronomical alignments by ancient Japanese societies.

The stone circle incorporates 600 individual stones, arranged in precise mathematical patterns that align with specific celestial events.
