Koumare Ishi (Stones)

These stones appear from the walls, grow in size, and eventually tumble down.
The Japanese word koumare means childbirth, and these stones are named so as they resemble a child being born.
People associate the stones with good luck, and the spot attracts attention for its mystical aura.
The Koumare Ishi stones are at a bend in the Gosoudan river, where it curves as it flows through Nishihagima, Makinohara.
