[Hokkaido] The quiet graves of Aizu samurai that give a sense of history

Rishiri Island, located at the northern tip of Japan, is actually a place where several historical events have taken place. The graves of Aizu samurai are a place that gives a sense of this. In 1807, a Russian fleet attacked Rishiri Island, which was under the control of the shogunate, and it was Aizu samurai who defended it. No battle actually occurred, but several samurai died in the harsh natural environment. There are several graves on Rishiri Island dedicated to the repose of their souls, and this is one of them. It is located along the road so it is easy to find, and there is also an explanatory stone monument, so if you have a chance to visit Rishiri Island, please stop by. #DomesticTravel #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #RishiriIsland
