Osarubatake no Ōkirigishi, Stone quarry and archaeological site in Hisagi, Japan.
This quarry extends over 800 meters along the border between Zushi and Kamakura cities, with cliff heights ranging from 3 to 10 meters.
Recent excavations revealed that the site, previously thought to be fortifications against the Miura clan, was actually a large stone extraction site during the Kamakura period.
The name Osarubatake originates from a 1260 legend where monk Nichiren escaped attackers by following a white monkey to this location.
The site features two viewing routes: an upper path and a lower path, with the lower route providing the most complete view of the quarry.
The extracted Kamakura stone from this quarry was essential for construction projects throughout the city after the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate.
