Itto-seki (Split Boulder)
Located in Toiwadani, about 700m from Hotokuji Temple, this huge stone is about 7m square and split into two from the center. There is an anecdote that Sekishusai (Muneyoshi Yagyu) had a match with a tengu during his training, and when he cut the tengu down with a single blow, a huge stone that was broken in two remained behind.
