There are people who have "permitted" the stone monument in the garden of the private home.

When I reviewed "Wayfarer!" on January 03,2021, I rejected it because it was clearly a stone monument in a private garden.
But, as of April 25,2021, it is now LIVE as a Wayspot.
The judges have approved it, even though it is clearly from a private garden.
Title of the Wayspot: 大きな石碑
Location: 35.35482871504889, 138.97580668047007
City: Oyama-Town,Shizuoka Pref.

The following image is the URL of the original photo of this Wayspot when it was applied for.
The inscription is written in Chinese classic, which we learn in junior high school in Japan.
Much of the content of the inscription is spelled out in proper nouns that are almost always recognisable as Japanese.

This stone monument, erected in the garden of a private house, bears the following inscription in Chinese classics.
(In Japan, the inscription is sometimes written in Chinese classics.)
It was erected in 1911 to mourn over the **** of Mr. Kichigoro Yuyama(湯山 吉五郎), an infantryman in the Japanese Imperial Army.
abridged translation:
Mr. Yuyama was born in May 1874.
In February 1904, he was called up for service in the Russo-Japanese War and returned to the army. He was a member of the 34th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Company, and landed in Qing China, where he distinguished himself at the Battle of Liaoyang and the Battle of Shahe (1904).
However, on 2 March 1905, he was ordered to go to war.
On 2 March 1905, he was ordered to fight in the Battle of Mukden, where he was seriously injured when an enemy bullet struck him above the left ear while he was engaged at a distance of 5 to 600 metres . Unfortunately, he died in a field hospital.
This monument is obviously in the garden of a private house. It seems that some people have lightly allowed this to permission.

I've often wondered about this as sometimes people have interesting structures in their yards. A house in my neighborhood has a very interesting-looking sculpture but, I wouldn't submit it due to it being in their yard. However, it is no comparison to a memorial over the loss of someone who was at war. I feel like this is also a historic monument which would count and might be why it was approved.
Thanks for the appeal, Agent. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Portal in question.

Thank you for your consideration.
Since when is it possible to file wayspot removal appeals in the "General Discussion" forum?
Its not the ideal location, but its possible... that being said, a mod should have moved it.
