About
The Ishi no Hōden (石の宝殿) is a megalithic monument located in the grounds of the Ōshiko Jinja (生石神社), a Shinto shrine located in the city of Takasago, Hyōgo Prefecture in the Kansai region of Japan. Of unknown age, it was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1979 collectively with the nearby Tatsuyama Stone Quarries (竜山石採石遺跡, Tatsuyama Ishisaiseki iseki), which dates from the Kofun period. It is also called the Ame no Ukiishi (天の浮石).
