Seems like they are just stones now. If they were discarded in this fashion I think it is safe to assume that all the correct rituals were done over those... But yet still... Interesting.

I think it's amazing that you found all of those and included the dates of some of them. the oldest one I saw was the 1789 stone. I don't know if it would be considered sacrilegious or not, but I'd turn them all up right and set them in a row, but that's just what I would do. :) I don't know the traditional things from Japan and whether or not just leaving them as they are is the best thing. I'm not there so I guess it doesn't matter :) love the videos and the fact that you found all of those amazing stones that tell a story of the person whom it once belong too.
Hitstorical find! I would have to search historical documents and consult with elders on such matters as to how to preserve the site where these tombstones are located. Many blessings for showing respect. Thank you for sharing your videos.
I wish we could see an English translation- what did you find?

They found gravestones including earlier owner's of their house. The stones say they were made decades to centuries ago so are not in use now they guess.

Thank you for waiting. I've added the English translation.
Do you have a local history society that could help you get more information about the tombstones? The area you are in may have been a small village at one time.
There may be records at your City Administration to explain. It seems sad if this is a forgotten burial place, or if the stones were removed from a burial place.
oh snap! well that will be an interesting research journey. I'd imagine you'd find the info you need from your local council/government agency. There must have been a landslide close by and the tidy up is those piles of stones.... Would it be out of courtesy that these stones be recognized as a sacred space - I'm not sure on the cultural aspects of such things for Japanese. I'd imagine the land or area needs to be blessed or something. Where I live in New Zealand this is the kind of find the Maori would need to organise some sort of traditional blessing for the area. A great video for I didn't even expect that after my last few weeks of watching all of your guys videos of renovating the land etc of your new house. (oldest to newest order) Yes - spooky and a moment where you start thinking - dang! I really didn't see the tombstone in the my back yard that whole time! The place looks great and looking like a modern 'glamping' site... Pip from New Zealand :)
Surprised no one locally remembers. 1950s is pretty recent.

Blair Witch Hunt vibe haha. It's possible that a graveyard somewhere else got moved, and since disposing the tombstone would cost money, the movers just dumped them in the mountain, probably illegally to avoid waste processing costs. It's a good thing to move the tombstone by the house, or else during a big rain or mud slide it might have rolled down and hit the house.
