Ubagaishi

The millstone is located in the stone wall on the north side of the dry small keep of Himeji Castle, and a large chipped stone can be seen being used as a filler stone. Legend has it that this led to the gathering of stones and the completion of the castle, but it is unclear why the stones were actually used.
