Shrines along the way on Day 64
It also featured a small sumo ring in the grounds. I have noticed that only a few areas of Japan tend to have sumo rings in their grounds.
The previous post in the series was on Nagaura, the small fishing harbour where I spent the night.

Yamata no Orochi
The idea of sacrificing humans to a river is fairly widespread around the world as well as here in Japan. I found a riverbank monument to a local lord who was praised by locals when he switched from burying live humans in the river bank to burying clay figures, and stories of human sacrifice to protect new bridges and castle walls are fairly common.
The previous post in this series exploring Okuizumo was the Yokota Folk Museum.
