OFFICIAL KUMAMOTO TOURISM GUIDE

Sightseeing

Aso area

Oshitoishi

 Oshitoishi, located near Mazeno Gorge in Minami-Oguni town, is said to have been a place of prayer for ancient people.

Several stones are placed artificially, such as the pyramid-shaped "giant rock", the "Kagamiishi" engraved with Sumerian letters, and the "scissors stone" that is said to have used as a sundial.

In addition, each stone has a magnetic force, and the needle of compass is affected by the stones. You can experience the power of nature with the spectacular 360-degree panoramic view.
