野菊之墓文學碑

The Nogiku no Haka Literary Monument is a stone marker in the Yakiri district that features inscribed text about a story of rural love and connection. The stone sits in a location overlooking a river valley and farmland, reflecting the landscape where the original story took place.

The stone was set up in 1965 to mark the setting of a novel written in the 19th century that depicted rural life of that era. The work shaped how people understood love and daily life in farming communities of the time.

The inscribed text was written by a student of Sachio Ito and preserves a story about rural life and human connection in the Japanese countryside. The words on the stone speak to the feelings and everyday experiences of ordinary people who lived in this area.

The stone is located in a rural area and can be reached on foot from Yakiri Station or by bus from Matsudo Station. The visit works best during daylight hours when you can see the farmland and river properly and fully appreciate the surroundings.

The inscriptions on the stone were not written by the author himself but by someone who studied and admired his work. This choice makes the monument feel personal, transforming it into something that goes beyond a simple book memorial.
