There are two Buddhist sarcophagus Buddhas using a large house-shaped sarcophagus lid in a part of the Yamabushi Pass.

In addition, it is written on the explanation board as two, but there is a small stone Buddha along with a large sarcophagus, and it feels the same in the manufacturing era, but it is also seen as unrecognized as it is not a sarcophagus But each stone Buddha may have been the guardian deity of those who walk the pass in the past. There is a vacant lot (parking lot) where you can stop the car if you go a little further in front of the tennis court attached to the Kasai baseball stadium to this place. Beyond is a cycling course, so cars are not allowed.
