Ishi-no-Houden (The palace of the holy rock), Oushiko Shrine, Takasago City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
兵庫県高砂市にある生石（おうしこ）神社の「石の宝殿」
横約6.5m、高さ約5.6m、奥行約7.5m、重さ約500tの巨石が御神体として祀られ、
まるで池の上に浮いて見えることから「浮石」とも呼ばれているそう
日本三大奇石の一つだそうです
岩盤をくりぬいたような立方体の巨石の姿は、エチオピアの世界遺産ラベリラに似ていると思いました

Oushiko Shrine is located in Takasago city, Hyogo prefecture, Japan. There is a massive stone structure sitting at the end of the corridor called 'Ishi-no-Houden', means like a palace of the holy rock, one of Japan 3 Great Miracles rocks, with 5.6m high, 6.5m wide and 7.5m deep, and estimated to be 500 tons weigh.
Due to the water held in the pit that is cut deep around it, it appears as though it is floating on water, giving it the name of “Floating Rock”.
This rock is worshiped as a sacred body of the Japanese God 'Kami', so it becomes like a spritual spot as well.
I'm wondering that it would be similar to 'Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela', the UNESCO world heritage site in Ethiopia, in some way.
