Ittoseki (Yagyu Split Boulder) is a real-life anime pilgrimage spot from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. A huge boulder split clean in two, said in legend to have been cut by swordsman Yagyu Munetoshi; it is known as the motif for Tanjiro's boulder-cutting scene. It is not an officially confirmed model.
