Hihaizuka Kofun

The Hihaizuka Kofun (日拝塚古墳) is a Kofun period burial mound, located in the Shimohirasui Minami neighborhood of the city of Kasuga, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1976. Overview The Hihaizuka Kofun is located on a low terrace on the right bank of the Naka River in the Hakata Plain. This area was the center of the Yayoi period Kingdom of Na, which, according to the Book of the Later Han, was granted a gold imperial seal by Emperor Guangwu of Han in 57 CE The kingdom is mentioned in vol. 30 of the Chinese Book of Wei from the Records of the Three Kingdoms, titled "The Account of the Easterners: A Note on the Wa" (Chinese: 東夷傳‧倭人條), indicating that it continued to exist in the 3rd century. The tumulus is a zenpō-kōen-fun (前方後円墳), which is shaped like a keyhole, having one square end and one circular end, when viewed from above, and is orientated towards the west. It has a total length of 41.2 meters, with a 22-meter diameter posterior circular portion with a height of 5.9 meters and a 34-meter wide anterior rectangular portion with a height of 5.4 meters. The tumulus was built in two stages, and no fukiishi or haniwa discovered. Although it has disappeared now, there was once a moat surrounding it, and the total length including the moat was about 60 meters. The burial chamber is located in the center of the posterior portion and is a horizontal-entry stone chamber made of granite blocks that opens to the southwest. It is 3.6 by 2.6 meters, and four meters high with a 4.8 meter long passage that is only one meter wide by 1.5 meters high. When excavated in 1929 a large quantity of grave goods were discovered, including a bronze mirror, earring with gold drape, four gold rings and other accessories, and one long iron sword with a ring pommel. Numerous pieces of horse fittings, including three sets of iron ring stirrups, and Sue ware pottery were also found. Based on the characteristics of the tumulus and excavated items, the tumulus was constructed in the 6th century. Currently, the excavated items are stored at the Tokyo National Museum, and the Nakuni-no-Oka History Museum in Kasuga City preserves earrings with gold pendants. The tumulus is being maintained as a park. It is located approximately a 15-minute walk from Hakataminami Station on the JR Kyushu Hakata Minami Line.

Ainoshima Stone Tumuli

The Ainoshima Stone Tumuli (相島積石塚群, Ainoshima tsumiishitsuka-gun) is a Kofun period necropolis, located on the island of Ainoshima in the town of Shingū, Kasuya District, Fukuoka Prefecture Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2001. Overview The Ainoshima Stone Tumuli consist of total of 254 stone mounds made entirely of basalt gravel are distributed in the northeastern part of Ainoshima, along a coastline extending approximately 500 meters from north-to-south. It was discovered in 1992. This group of stone mounds are mainly small circular or rectangular tombs with a diameter of about three to five meters, but there are also some that are two-tiered with a side of 12 meters, and others that have their main parts dug directly into the ground. No grave markers or border marks the site, and it is unknown how much of the original site remains. The main internal features include a vertical stone burial chambers containing a box-type sarcophagus, or a side-pit type stone burial chamber. Most were constructed from the first half of the 5th century to the middle of the 6th century, but the earliest construction can definitely be traced back to the early Kofun period. On the opposite shore in the northeast direction from this site, is the Munakata area, where many burial mounds from the same period are concentrated, and it is possible to assume that there is a connection there, as well as connections with the Korean Peninsula. A variety of artifacts have been unearthed, including numerous grave goods, iron products, and human bones. It is theorized that the tombs belong to the Kaijin tribe, who lived mainly lived in the coastal areas of Chikuzen Province and Hizen Province (as well as the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula during the Yayoi period. The Kaijin, whom some researchers theorize migrated to this area from southeastern China or the South Pacific in prehistoric times, practiced rice cultivation, used bronze tools, and are presumed to have excellent navigation and fishing skills. They became powerful through maritime transportation from the 4th century onwards, and were eventually assimilated into Japanese, but much about them remains unknown. It is also said that the stones used in the stone chambers of the Tsuyazaki Kofun Cluster in Fukutsu, Fukuoka, and Munakata City, which were built during the same period, were transported from here. The site is approximately a 30-minute walk from the Ainoshima Ferry Terminal.

Yasunagata Site

The Yasunagata Site (安永田遺跡) is an archaeological site with the traces of a Yayoi period settlement and bronze casting center, located in the Yubi neighborhood of the city of Tosu, Saga Prefecture, Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1982. Overview The Yasunagata site is located within the Yubi ruins, which are situated on a fluvial terrace in the northeastern part of the city. The ruins are spread across an area of approximately 6,000 hectares and include approximately 30 separate ruins from the Yayoi period and later. A survey to confirm the area in 1979 unearthed fragments of a bronze dōtaku mold, attracting attention, and archaeological excavations conducted the following year uncovered remains and artifacts related to bronze casting from the middle to late Yayoi period. Dōtaku are bell-shaped objects cast from relatively thin sheets of bronze, whose exact purpose is unknown, bu which appear to have been used for ceremonial or religious purposes. First discovered in Shiga Prefecture, they have been found mainly in western Honshu, the Tōkai region, Shikoku, and the Kansai region. The discovery of the dōtaku mold fragments at this location overturned the conventional view that the bronze spear and sword cultural area was centered in northern Kyushu, whereas the dōtaku cultural area centered in the Kinki region. The five dōtaku molds and five bronze spear molds excavated at the Yasunagata site were subsequently designated National Important Cultural Properties. At the Yasunaga Site, traces of 49 pit dwellings and 37 jar burial tombs, as well as artifacts such as bronze bells, bellows nozzles, whetstones, and stone knives have been excavated in addition to a large amount of Yayoi pottery. The site has been backfilled and is now a park. It is about a ten-minute drive from Tosu Station on the JR Kyushu Kagoshima Main Line.

Sonohjan Utaki Išimon

Kamenná brána Sonohjan Utaki (japonsky: 園比屋武御嶽石門; Sonohjan Utaki Išimon) leží na japonském ostrově Okinawa, kde byla postavena během existence království Rjúkjú. Tato kamenná brána stojí nalevo od brány Šureimon. Byla vztyčena v roce 1519 králem Šo Šinem, třetím králem druhé dynastie Šo. Za bránou leží posvátný háj Sonohjan Utaki, kde se král modlil za řád ve svém království a za bezpečný návrat, když se vydával na cesty. Na kamenné bráně je zřetelně vidět čínský vliv a vysoká úroveň opracování vápence, kterého dosahovali místní řemeslníci. Kamenná brána Sonohjan Utaki byla v roce 2000, společně s dalšími památkami v prefektuře Okinawa, zapsána na Seznam světového dědictví UNESCO pod názvem Gusuku a související památky na Království Rjúkjú.

Sonohyan-Utaki

Das Steintor Sonohyan-utaki (jap. 園比屋武御嶽 Sonohyan-utaki, Okinawaisch Sunufan-utaki) wurde 1519 unter der Herrschaft von König Shō Shin durch Nishito von der Insel Taketomi-jima erbaut. Das Tor liegt hinter dem Eingangstor Kankai-mon der Burg Shuri auf der linken Seite. Abgesehen von einer Holztür besteht das Tor hauptsächlich aus Ryūkyū-Kalkstein und aus feinkörnigem Sandstein. Diese Art von Tor wird Hirakaramon (平 唐門) genannt. Hinter dem immer geschlossenen Tor liegt ein heiliger Hain, der in früheren Zeiten deutlich größer war und schon vor der Errichtung des Steintores als sakrale Stätte der traditionellen indigenen Religion der Ryūkyū-Völker existierte. In heutiger Zeit sind mehrere Gebäude auf dem ehemaligen Gelände von Sonohyan-utaki errichtet worden, unter anderem eine Grundschule. Die Kikoe-ōgimi (die königliche Noro-Priesterin) führte an diesem Ort Rituale und Zeremonien im Namen des gesamten Königreichs durch. Während des östlichen Rundgangs (Agari-umāi), einer Art Pilgerreise des Königs von Ryūkyū und der Kikoe-ōgimi (ranghöchsten Noro-Priesterin der Ryūkyū-Religion), wurde Sefa-utaki aufgesucht, um dort die Göttin Amamikyu, die Göttin der Schöpfung, zu verehren. Wann immer der König die Burg Shuri zu einer Reise verließ, betete er zuerst am Sonohyan-utaki für eine sichere Reise. 1933 wurde das Steintor von der japanischen Regierung als Nationalschatz deklariert. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg bei der Schlacht um Okinawa schwer beschädigt, aber 1957 wieder errichtet, ist Sonohyan-utaki seit 2000 als Teil der Gusuku-Stätten und zugehörige Stätten des Königreichs von Ryukyu als Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO anerkannt.

Sonohyan-utaki

Sonohyan-utaki (園比屋武御嶽; Okinawan: スヌファンウタキ Sunufan-utaki ) is a sacred grove of trees and plants (utaki) of the traditional indigenous Ryukyuan religion. It is located on the grounds of Shuri Castle in Naha, Okinawa, a few paces away from the Shureimon castle gate. The utaki, or more specifically its stone gate (Okinawan: イシジョー/石門, romanized: ishi-jō), is one of a number of sites which together comprise the UNESCO World Heritage Site officially described as Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu, and has been designated an Important Cultural Property by the Japanese national government. While the gates were once opened only for the king, today they are always closed, and so the gates have in a way become a sacred space themselves, representative of the actual sacred space behind them. Many travellers and locals come to pray at the gates. The stone gate was first built in 1519, during the reign of Ryukyuan king Shō Shin, though the space had been recognized as a sacred utaki prior to that. Whenever the king left the castle on a journey, he would first stop at Sonohyan-utaki to pray for safe travels. The site also played an important role in the initiation of the high priestess Kikoe-ōgimi (Okinawan: チフィジン/聞得大君, romanized: chifijin) of the native religion. The gate is said to be a prime example of traditional Ryukyuan architecture, and shows many signs of Chinese influence, along with a Japanese-influenced gable in the karahafu style. It was severely damaged in the 1945 battle of Okinawa, but was restored in 1957, and officially designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, along with a number of other sites across Okinawa Island. The utaki, i.e. the sacred grove itself, was once much larger than it is today, an elementary school and other buildings having encroached upon the space. References
Sonohyan-utaki

Le Sonohyan-utaki (園比屋武御嶽, okinawaïen : Sunuhyan-utaki) est un bosquet sacré d'arbres et de plantes (utaki) de la religion ryūkyū indigène traditionnelle. Il se trouve dans l'enceinte du château de Shuri à Naha, à quelques pas de la porte Shureimon du château. Son utaki, ou plus précisément sa porte en pierre (石門, ishimon), fait partie d'un certain nombre de sites qui constituent l'ensemble du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO officiellement intitulé Sites Gusuku et biens culturels associés du royaume de Ryūkyū, et qui est désigné bien culturel important. Alors que les portes n'étaient ouvertes que pour le roi, elles sont aujourd'hui toujours fermées, et sont en quelque sorte devenues elles-mêmes un espace sacré, représentant le véritable espace sacré derrière elles. De nombreux voyageurs et les habitants viennent prier à la porte. La porte de pierre est construite à l'origine en 1519, durant le règne du souverain des Ryūkyū Shō Shin, bien que l'endroit ait été reconnu utaki (sacré) auparavant. Chaque fois que le roi quittait le château pour un voyage, il s'arrêtait d'abord au Sonohyan-utaki afin de prier pour la sécurité de son déplacement. Le site jouait également un rôle important dans l'initiation de la grande prêtresse (聞得大君, kikoe-ōgimi) de la religion native. La porte passe pour être un excellent exemple de l'architecture traditionnelle d'Okinawa, et montre de nombreux signes de l'influence chinoise, avec un pignon d'influence japonaise dans le style karahafu. Sévèrement endommagée au cours de la bataille d'Okinawa en 1945, la porte est restaurée en 1957, et officiellement désignée patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 2000, avec un certain nombre d'autres sites des îles d'Okinawa. L'utaki, c'est-à-dire le bosquet sacré lui-même, était autrefois beaucoup plus grand qu'il ne l'est aujourd'hui, une école primaire et d'autres bâtiments ayant empiété sur l'espace.

Minami-Daito Airport

Minamidaito Airport (南大東空港, Minamidaitō Kūkō; (IATA: MMD, ICAO: ROMD)) is an airport in Minamidaitō, Shimajiri District, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. The prefecture operates the airport, which is classified as a third class airport. Only a flight from Naha to Minami-Daito is operated every day. History The original Minamidaito Airport began as an air base for the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1934. The first civilian operations began in March 1961. The runway was repaired in June 1963 and expanded to 1,200 meters in December 1968 in order to accommodate NAMC YS-11 aircraft. However, with the reversion of the island to Japanese control in 1972, it was found that the approach way was not in conformance with Japanese Aviation Law, so the runway needed to be treated as shorter than its actual length. A new 800 meter runway was completed in August 1974. The airport was relocated to its present location and upgraded to accommodate larger flights in July 1997 with the present 1500 meter runway.

Aeropuerto de Minamidaitō

El Aeropuerto de Minami Daitō o Minamidaitō (南大東空港, Minamidaitō Kūkō, (IATA: MMD, OACI: ROMD)) es un aeropuerto en Minamidaitō, distrito de Shimajiri, prefectura de Okinawa, Japón.​ La prefectura opera el aeropuerto, que está clasificado como de tercera clase. Solo se opera un vuelo de ida y vuelta desde Naha, a Minami-Daitō y Kitadaitō, de vuelta a Naha todos los días. La ruta difiere según el día de la semana. El vuelo de Kitadaito a Minamidaitō es el más corto de Japón, cuesta 7.600 JPY y sólo tiene 12 km de longitud, y tarda 3 minutos en el aire. Historia El aeropuerto original de Minamidaitō comenzó como base aérea de la Armada Imperial Japonesa en 1934. Las primeras operaciones civiles comenzaron en marzo de 1961. La pista se reparó en junio de 1963 y se amplió a 1.200 metros en diciembre de 1968 para acomodar los aviones NAMC YS-11. Sin embargo, con la reversión de la isla al control japonés en 1972, se descubrió que la vía de aproximación no se ajustaba a la Ley de Aviación japonesa, por lo que la pista tuvo que ser tratada como más corta que su longitud real. En agosto de 1974 se completó una nueva pista de 800 metros. En julio de 1997, el aeropuerto se trasladó a su ubicación actual y se mejoró para dar cabida a vuelos más grandes con la actual pista de 1500 metros.
