Hime Island, to the east of Oita Prefecture. This small remote island once had many mysterious phenomena known as the 'Seven Wonders of Hime Island'. Many of them have been lost now, but the 'Kanetsukeishi' is a precious existence that still conveys the remnants of that time.
This strange stone is said to have retained the shape of the tool used by the gods when painting their teeth black. Due to its mysterious origin, it has been cherished by the islanders.
Finding the 'Kanetsukeishi' may be a little difficult. However, the joy of finding it is extraordinary. You can walk around the island, search for clues, and arrive here, experiencing a feeling similar to orienteering.
Unlike artificial tourist attractions, the 'Kanetsukeishi' is a peculiar monument created by the power of nature. By feeling its strength and mystery, you can experience a special feeling that you don't usually experience.
The 'Kanetsukeishi' remaining on the remote island is a precious existence that allows us to feel the mystery of nature. Please come and experience its charm for yourself.
