Koyasan Promenade: A village called Yakiyama in the upper reaches of the Iwashina River, which was once called "Yakiyama" because the mountain was burned and cultivated. About 3 km into the mountains from the village, a cliff of Strange Rock rises up facing a mountain stream, and there is an unknown quiet area. This place is called Mt. Koya, and it used to be a place where Shugenja of Shingon esoteric Buddhism went, and there are many stone Buddhas. ☆ Legendary land related to famous monks ☆ There is even a legend that Kobo Daishi once visited here, but left because the smell of Fertilizer wafted from the nearby farmland and it was unclean and the depth of the valley was unsatisfactory, and eventually he went to Kishu (Wakayama Prefecture) and opened Mt. Koya. As if to confirm this good story, there was a statue of Kobo Daishi in the "Enma Shingyo" in the middle of the cliff, but it has now been moved to Eizenji Temple in Yagiyama and enshrined. Furthermore, at the end of the Edo period, a monk named Renren practiced in this "Enma Shingyo" and walked around praying for his presence, but his new spiritual experience became popular, and he was called a great master and respected, and the number of believers reached 200. And when he left this place, he left the scriptures and dharma robes as a memorial to the local Taguchi family. There is also an inscription on the same house stating that "Resigned was a person from Mikawa (Aichi Prefecture), and that he visited the area in the first year of Tenpo (1830) to worship the statue of Kobo Daishi, visited for about a year, and gathered many believers..." According to one theory, it is said that during the Kenkyu year (1190~1199), a man of letters also visited here, and when he was about to leave after completing his training, he could not leave because wild roses were entangled in his robe. So he took refuge in the cave again and continued his journey. Since then, the locals have called it "Bunkaku rose".

In Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture, there is a satoyama called "Sakatayama Symbiotic Forest". The Sakata Mountain Symbiotic Forest is close to the city and is a familiar satoyama that is familiar to the community. The cherry blossoms are beautiful, and the view from the hill is wonderful~! In order to tell everyone about the goodness of Mt. Sakata, on Saturday, April 13, 2024 We held a hiking event. The cherry blossoms were blooming, the weather was good, and it was a great day with a view of the mountains. Fun was also enjoyed by everyone who participated. Please go out to the "Sakata Mountain Symbiosis Forest". The "Dragon Split Stone", which resembles a rock that appeared in the Adult anime, is also a must see! We recommend renting a bicycle to Mt. Sakata! About 20 minutes by bicycle from Suzaka Station. Enjoy cycling and hiking~!

Mt. Fukino is a 550-meter-high mountain that rises near the boundary between Matsuzaki and Nishi-Izu towns, northeast of Matsuzaki City, along with Mt. Chokuro in Amagi. Located at the top of the mountain, the Soto School Fukino Mountain Treasure House is an ancient temple opened by Kukai (Kobo Daishi) in the 3rd year of Datong as a sacred place for esoteric Buddhism, and was originally called Fukino Jizo Secret Temple. In the Muromachi period, it flourished as a large sacred site with 88 temples, but after that, it was deserted and rebuilt by the monk Iwanaka. In the Bunki year (1501~04), the 4th generation monk Kiyoyasu of Kawazu and Fumon-in converted from Shingon Buddhism to Soto School, and from this time on, it became Hozoin. In the precincts, the largest cedar in Minami-Izu (circumference 6.5 m, height 34 m), which is estimated to be about 400 years old, and Oshima cherry trees that are 150 years old are densely grown, and it is rare to see more than 180 "wild Buddhas" lined up around the approach. Dainichi Nyorai, Yakushi Nyorai, Amitabha Buddha, Jizo, Kannon, Kobo Daishi, etc., all of which look like mossy stone Buddhas, seem to be singing a chorus of heartlessness in the human world. It is also the 7th sacred site of "Izu Yokodo 33 Kannon".

In the western and southern parts of the Izu Peninsula, the ejecta of ancient submarine volcanoes is widely distributed. After a long period of undersea volcanoes, the whole of Izu rose and emerged on land, and subsequent erosion gave it its current appearance, allowing us to see firsthand the beautiful internal structures that would have been buried underground. Among the submarine volcanic ejecta, volcanic ash and pumice that fell on the seafloor were transformed into stone over a long period of time, retaining the stripes and other patterns that were formed on the seabed. The stone made in this way was useful as a soft, easy-to-process, and fire-resistant stone (Izu stone), and was produced and shipped in various parts of Izu until the beginning of the Showa era. Muroiwa-do is a quarry that was in operation from the Edo period to Showa 29, and is one of the few places where you can visit it while retaining the state of that time.

【Sea Cucumber Wall】 The name "sea cucumber wall" comes from the style of sticking flat tiles to the wall and plastering the joints to make them look like sea cucumbers. It has excellent fire prevention, heat retention, and moisture retention, and is a construction method for exterior walls that was seen in various places from the Meiji era to the early Showa period, but it has decreased year by year due to aging and rebuilding. Currently, it is found in Matsuzaki Town and Shimoda City in Izu, and in Kurashiki City in Okayama Prefecture and Higashihiroshima City in Hiroshima Prefecture nationwide. There are still more than 190 buildings left in Matsuzaki, retaining their old-fashioned taste. Sea cucumber walls have become rare in Japan. It is regarded as an important resource in the town and is actively engaged in conservation activities. Even now, there are plasterers who can make sea cucumber walls, and in addition to passing on techniques and improving the cityscape by repairing them, the "Matsuzaki Kura Creation Team" made up of local volunteers is promoting conservation and awareness-raising campaigns. The sea cucumber wall exists as a matter of course, but it is only because of the desire and efforts of these craftsmen and townspeople to "leave local resources for the future" that they can be preserved.
