Sekihi is a roadside stone stele set in rural Goka near Ueda—photograph its weathered kanji, carved textures and the stele framed by rice paddies, mountains and seasonal foliage. Best at golden hour or soft overcast light to bring out surface relief; winter snow adds contrast. Site is publicly accessible from the roadside; limited parking nearby—use a compact car and be mindful of local homes. Treat the monument respectfully and avoid stepping on bases or nearby rice fields.
