When you walk around your neighborhood, you may often come across stone monuments. Usually, they were built to commemorate people or events in the past but Koshi City has interesting ones, which are called Kinshu (禁酒, No-drinking) stone monuments. They are very unique on a nationwide level and we can see No-drinking stone monuments only in Koshi City and one small village in Ishikawa Prefecture.
Exploring the world of stone monuments is just like time traveling. They tell us local stories and history in the area.
