A small stone monument inscribed with Nakanishi Gotō's poem set in Hoshino's wooded Karuizawa grounds. Photograph intimate textures, calligraphy, moss and seasonal foliage — striking in autumn colors, spring greens, or light snow. Easily reached from Hoshino area paths; parking available at nearby Hoshino Resorts lots. Visit early morning or late afternoon for soft directional light and fewer visitors. Respectful, quiet behavior is expected near cultural markers.
