Japan and the United Kingdom are along the same latitude

I don't think so.

If people are watching the stars to mark the seasons…they would use stones. Those stones, marking sunrises and sunsets, would form a circle.

There really isn’t much mystery to it.

Neolithic people living near Stonehenge were farmers, the people of the Jōmon period constructing stone circles in northern Japan were fishers and hunter-gatherers.

Fishermen have to keep track of the seasons for seasonal fish runs just like farmers have to keep track of seasons for planting.

It’s not that complicated. The symbolism of stone is timeless. To primitive man (and pretty much in all the pre-Hutton world), stone was eternal. They believed that marking your grave with stone meant you would be remembered forever.

And as the old saying goes, every man dies twice. Once when the breath leaves his body, and again when his name is spoken for the last time. Which is why so many cultures practiced ancestor worship. Mentioning an ancestor prevents their second death. And a grave marked with eternal stone makes it possible for your name to be remembered and hence spoken for eternity.
