Hayatozuka, Buddhist archaeological mound in Kirishima, Japan.
Three stone pagodas stand on a hill, accompanied by four guardian statues representing the Four Heavenly Kings at the ancient Hayatozuka site.
The stone pagodas, dating back to the Heian period around 800 years ago, were constructed to pacify the spirits of the Hayato people.
Each stone pagoda displays carved Buddhist figures on all four sides, representing the Buddhist cosmos and its protective deities in Japanese religious tradition.
The site includes a museum displaying archaeological findings, open from 9:00 to 17:00, with entrance fees of 180 yen for adults and 90 yen for students.
The archaeological complex combines three five-story pagodas with guardian statues, making it a distinct example of ancient Japanese Buddhist architecture.
