    One of the ancient stone structures remaining in Asuka Village. There is a hollow at the top of the large stone and a groove is carved. It has the name "Sakafune Stone", but I'm not sure how it was actually used.

It is presumed that one side was partially cracked and originally a symmetrical pattern ...

    A huge stone structure placed in the hillside. It is 3m long, 1m high, and 1.5m wide, and a groove is carved on the upper surface. I don't know what the hell is.
