Name: Chokushi Kaido, Hyakutaisha and Keshoido

Address: Usa City, Oita Prefecture

Description: Kyoshuzuka Tumulus is a tomb said to be the place where the Hachiman deity buried a hundred heads of the Hayato people to memorialize them after suppressing their uprising. It was designated a historical site by Oita Prefecture in 1971. Keshoido Well is a series of 3 wells with a stone monument in the center. Water from these wells is said to have been used to purify marionettes brought from Hachiman Kohyo Jinja Shrine (Yoshitomi Town, Fukuoka) and Koyo Jinja Shrine (Nakatsu City, Oita) which were used in the Hojoe Ceremony to appease the sprits of Hayato. Hyakutaisha Shrine is dedicated to the spirits of the Hayato of Osumi and Hyuga in southern Kyushu. It was built in order to appease the spirits of the Hayato after the Hachiman deity suppressed the Hayato in 720.
