| Overview |
The site is a low-lying place in a coastal sand dune facing the Sea of Japan, considered
to be the remains of rituals in which people made fire to welcome back the deities and
made offerings to the deities for a long time. The villages of people who made the ritual
equipment are thought to have been on the ridge of the sand dune. The rituals are
assumed to be related to the nearby ancient shrine of Keta Shrine. |
