This time, I would like to introduce Osuzuyama, which represents Miyazaki Prefecture.
On the west side of Tonomachi is Mt. Osuzu, which has been selected as one of the Two Hundred Famous Mountains of Japan.
There are a place in Mt. Osuzu that was designated as a scenic Osuzuyama Waterfall Group on March 7, 1944 (Showa 19). There are many waterfalls there.

In the summer, a waterfall tour Events are held with Keyakiya as a course, and many mountain climbing enthusiasts, waterfall lovers, and even beginners come every year.
[2 waterfalls I recommend]
Next, I would like to introduce two waterfalls that I recommend.
◆ Shirataki
In the first place, the Osuzuyama Waterfall Group was also a place for Shugenja. In Shirataki, Teisuke Kongoin
It is said that in 1822, a man named (Vajra Inseiyu) stayed in Shirataki on the Kinya Valley and fasted for 7 days and 7 night Training s. There is also a story that the river Water swollen due to a storm, and driftwood and stones weighing 4 kg were stream, but they escaped by being hit by the conch shell they were wearing.
The amount of water itself is smaller than that of Yaken Falls, and it falls diagonally and in four steps, so it is not so impressive when viewed from directly below, but the view from the Mountain Trail (Shirataki Observation deck) on the south side is in harmony with the towering Quay and surrounding trees, and it looks like a wide mountain water painting.
In the summer, the "Osuzuyama Festival Waterfall Tour" Events is also held in.
◆ Yaken Falls
The waterfall that represents Mt. Osuzu is Yaken Falls. Until recently, the road was closed due to paving work, but since it opened, many tourists have come to see it. Surprisingly, foreigners are also coming. By the way, I have been there twice since the opening, and the waterfall at Yaken is still very spectacular. I felt that I could feel the goodness of Yaken Falls by experiencing for myself the smells and sounds, the size of the scenery, and the amount of light that cannot be conveyed by photographs.
The reason why it is called Yaken Falls is that it was named after the legend that Emperor Jimmu sharpened his arrows in the water of this water during his expedition to the East. There is an explanatory signboard near Yaken Falls.
By the way, if you look at Yaken Falls in front of you, on the Quay in the left foreground, there is a "Kamisakannari" (Kamisakannari)
The two characters are engraved. It is said that these two characters were carved on the Quay wall in 1940 (Showa 15) as one of the commemorative projects after a man named Akizuki Taneki Appreciation of Yaken Falls in the Meiji era and was impression by its heroic mystery.
【Name and Minamoto of Mt. Osuzu】
Why is Mt. Osuzu called Mt. Osuzu? Nowadays, the place name and the surrounding town are called Osuzu district, but what is the origin of the name?
Originally, the town of Tsunomachi and its surroundings were called Niiroin, and Mt. Osuzu was also called Mt. Shinna. Thereare various theories after that, but there is a story that is still being told.
Since ancient times, Tonomachi has been set up with horse farms and has been Production of good horses. Among them was a white horse, but only that white horse entered Mt. Osuzu without being caught, and became a Shinto horse there. It is said that the god of the mountain sometimes rode this white horse and flew directly over the Tsuno Shrine to visit the beach of Tsunomachi. It is said that the bell attached to the white horse resounded, and this god was called "Suzu-sama", and eventually the mountain came to be called "Mt. Osuzu".
However, in the village at the foothills of the mountain, some people call it Gozenjo.
Mt. Osuzu is also famous for having various plants.
【Plants of Mt. Osuzu】
In the Osuzu Mountains, there are several rare plants that can only be found here in the world, as well as plants that were born in Mt. Osuzu and are gradually expanding their distribution area.
◆ Kibana no Tsukinuke Hototogisu
It is a very valuable plant that can only be found in the Osuzu Mountains in the world. As the name suggests, this grass is characterized by a stem that extends through the leaves. It grows hanging down on damp, shady cliffs such as Yaken Falls and Shirataki. Best time to visit is from late September to early October with beautiful yellow flowers.
◆ Kan Orchid (Osuzu Kan Ran)
The main natural habitat of cold orchids is warm regions affected by the Kuroshio Current, such as Shikoku, the Kii Peninsula, and the Kyushu region. Among them, the Osuzu Mountains are said to be a treasure trove of cold orchids because of their wide natural habitat and excellent quality. The environment in which it grows is moist in twilight and in a well-Water wooded area.
However, this cold run has drastically decreased due to the fact that it began to be traded at abnormally high prices due to the cold run boom of the Showa era.
◆ Tsukushi Rhododendron
This flower, which bears pale pink flowers from May to early June, is open in the shape of a Japanese morning glories and is characterized by many at the tips of the branches. The flowering fluctuates depending on the year, but the sight of them blooming all at once is a masterpiece. There are many climbers who climb for the purpose of this flower.
Now, how was the introduction of Mt. Osuzu? Mt. Osuzu is still packed with many charms. Regardless of whether you like or dislike mountaineering, you can enjoy Mt. Osuzu. There are also campgrounds, so I would like to post such in the future.
