Do you like ruins? I do! They always inspire my curiosity. Unfortunately I couldn't find any information about this sloping, tree covered corner full of tumbled rocks behind Hachiman Jinja in Kofu. Some of the rocks were large, and possibly had cut edges. The trees were clearly not ancient, so perhaps they grew up after whatever was here was destroyed in the bombing of Kofu during World War Two. You can follow a path through the trees to Hachiman Jinja.
