Oni no Shitaburui gorge is the second gorge I have ever been to in Japan. I was really impressed with the scenery, the bridge, the river, also the rocks there. This is the perfect place if you want to relax and see the breathtaking scenery between gorge and autumn in Japan. Really recommended enjoying tea time there <3

excellent nature view but be careful of slippy road

Stunning and well equipped. Recommended!

The shorter route is not difficult to go with kids as well. It's beautiful

amazing place

(Translated by Google) This is a hiking trail that takes you across a suspension bridge with a spectacular view and allows you to view the gorge and numerous oddly shaped rocks. There was a relatively large free parking lot at the entrance to the gorge. It was my first time visiting, and the gorge was amazing. There are several trails, but if you use the barrier-free walking path you can stroll comfortably without any large steps or stairs. Next time I'd like to take my time and explore the gorge course as well. (Original) 絶景の吊り橋を渡り、渓谷や数々の奇岩を見学出来るハイキングコースです。 渓谷入り口に比較的大きな無料駐車場ありました。 初めて訪れましたが素晴らしい渓谷でした。 コースはいくつかありますが、バリアフリーに整備されている散策路を使えば大きな段差や階段もなく快適に散策出来ます。 次回は時間をゆっくりとり、渓谷コースも散策してみたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) This natural park has been designated a national Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument. We parked our car at Une Parking Lot and set off. Immediately after the shop we came to the Koi Tsuribashi suspension bridge. The view from the bridge is amazing. Afterwards we strolled through the valley, and there is a barrier-free promenade so it is very easy to walk on. We were able to see various strangely shaped and huge rocks, and enjoyed the beauty of the formations created by mother nature. (Original) 国の名勝天然記念物になっている自然公園。 宇根駐車場に車を停めて出発。 売店を過ぎたらすぐに吊り橋『恋吊橋』があります。 吊り橋からの眺めは素晴らしいです。 その後、渓谷を散策するのですが、バリアフリー遊歩道が整備されているので、非常に歩きやすいです。 色々な奇岩、巨岩を見る事が出来て、大自然が造り上げた造形美を堪能しました。

(Translated by Google) As its name suggests, Orochi Loop is the largest loop bridge in Japan. I visited it while walking along the Kishi Line. It's true that such a large loop bridge is quite rare. Like the nearby Tsutsugi Line switchback, I'm impressed by how well it was constructed. (Original) 「おろちループ」という名の通り日本一のループ橋だそうです。 木次線散策と合わせて訪問しました。 確かにこんな大きなループ橋、なかなかないですね。 近隣のつつぎ線スイッチバック同様、よく作ったものだと感心します

(Translated by Google) June 27, 2025　I stopped by for a drive for the first time in a while. The view from under the bridge is very impressive! I'm amazed they were able to build a bridge in such a place! (Original) 2025.6.27　久しぶりにドライブで立ち寄りました。橋の下から見る光景は凄く迫力あります！こんな地形のところによく橋を架けたものだ！

(Translated by Google) We passed by this bridge while driving through San'in. It's a large loop bridge with roads overlapping in multiple layers, making it a dynamic road that makes the most of the mountain terrain. Driving across it was a fun experience, as you felt the sensation of going up and down in altitude. It's surrounded by deep mountains. I can imagine the views must be spectacular in the seasons of fresh greenery and autumn leaves. Parking in the parking space and looking at the bridge, you can clearly see the overlapping roads in three dimensions, and you'll be amazed at its sheer scale. It's not just a road, but a tourist spot worth seeing as well. Only here can you experience the scenery where Okuizumo's nature and human technology blend together. This is an especially recommended place for people who want to enjoy the drive itself. (Original) 山陰ドライブの途中で通りました。 二重三重に道路が重なり合う大きなループ橋で、山の地形を活かしたダイナミックな道路ですね。 実際に車で走ってみると高度を上げ下げしていく感覚が楽しい体験でした。 周囲は深い山々に囲まれています。 新緑や紅葉の季節には絶景が広がるのだろうと想像できますね。 駐車スペースに車を停めて橋を眺めると立体的に重なり合う姿がよく分かりそのスケールの大きさに驚かされますよ。 道路だけでなく、観光スポットとしても見応えがあります。 奥出雲の自然と人の技術が融合した風景を味わえるのはここならではですね。 ドライブそのものを楽しみたい方には特におすすめの場所です。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way back from sightseeing. The scale is so large that it's hard to see the whole picture, but it looks like a very large structure in the mountains. There's a roadside station with dioramas and other exhibits. (Original) 観光の帰りに立ち寄りました。 スケールが大きすぎて全体像はわからないですが、山あいにとても大きな構造物といった感じです。 道の駅があってジオラマとか展示してあります。

(Translated by Google) It's a magnificent loop bridge worthy of being the best in Japan. There are two places to take photos: looking up from the shelter below the bridge, or taking pictures of the bridge crossing the sky from the roadside station above. However, although it is a tourist spot and is marked on guide signs and has an observation deck, the loop bridge is so impressive that you can't see the whole view, so it's more of a tourist spot for the memories of riding across the loop bridge, and it didn't really feel like a place to get off and enjoy something. (Original) 日本一に相応しい壮大なループ橋です。撮影スポットとしては、ループ橋の下にある退避場所から見上げるか、上にある道の駅から空を渡る橋を撮るかでしょうか。ただ、観光地として案内標識にも出てたり展望台もある割には、ループ橋が立派すぎて逆にぐるぐるした全景を見渡せないので、ループ橋を走った思い出も含めて観光地でしょうか、あまり降りて何かを楽しむ場所という感じではありませんでした。

(Translated by Google) It's about a 20-minute walk from Miinohara Station. The sidewalks are well maintained and you can enjoy a spectacular view on a clear day. There is also a roadside station where you can eat, so it's a good idea to take the train and go sightseeing. The autumn leaves near the roadside station were just starting to change color as of October 16, 2022. (Original) 三井野原駅から歩いて20分ほど 歩道も整備されてて晴れてれば絶景を楽しむことが出来ます。 道の駅もあり食事もできるので鉄道に乗って観光しによるのもありだと思います。 道の駅付近の紅葉は2022/10/16時点で色づき始めという感じでした。

(Translated by Google) Whereas the railway overcame the steep gradient with a triple switchback, the road bridge, built 100 years later with civil engineering expertise, overcomes this with a spiral bridge. The crimson arch bridge shines brightly against the green of the mountains, the blue of the sky, and the mist in the valley. The spacious two-lane road has a well-rounded curve, making it easy to drive. (Original) 鉄道が三段スイッチバックで克服した急勾配を100年後の土木力で作られた道路橋は螺旋の橋で克服した。 真紅のアーチ橋は、山の緑、空の青、谷の靄にも映えて輝く。 ゆったりした二車線でアールも十分取られております。走りやすい。

(Translated by Google) Although it is a roadside station, it claims to be a sake brewery, so there is a spacious corner stocked with Okuizumo's representative sake brands.At the sake tasting server, you can use coins to compare six different flavors.In particular, the locally produced ``Nita rice'' has a clear taste and is delicious. On the side, there are even cute handmade rice balls with seafood such as Nodoguro, Ajidashi, seaweed, grilled seaweed, etc., all of which are so tempting that you'll be spoiled for choice. I can't eat a lot of sake and onigiri from lunchtime, but my stomach is full... Is it okay for freshly harvested food to be this cheap? You can enjoy everything from fresh vegetables with local prices to regionally limited souvenirs just by wandering around the building, and the eat-in space was not crowded and had a nice open feel. (Original) 道の駅ながら酒蔵を標榜するだけあって奥出雲の代表的な日本酒銘柄を取り揃えたコーナーは広々、利き酒のサーバではコインで6種の味比べ、とりわけ地元産米を銘打つ「仁多米」が澄んだ味わいで美味し。 その脇には手作りおにぎりまでかわいらしく海の幸ののどぐろやあごだし、藻塩、焼き海苔…とどれもそそられ選ぶのに迷うほど。お昼時から日本酒におにぎりをたらふく食べるわけにはいかないものの腹は満ち… その他にも採れたてのこんな安くていいの？と地元値付けに申し訳なくなる新鮮野菜から地域限定のお土産品まで館内をぶらつくだけで楽しめ、イートインスペースも混雑なく開放感あり感じのよい場所でした。

(Translated by Google) To the left of the entrance is a direct-from-producer section, and to the left is a corner with a variety of souvenirs and alcohol tastings. To the left of the car park building there is a parking space with a wheelchair symbol. That said, the fact that a bicycle parking base has been placed in that space shows a lack of awareness... The sign for the EV charger is also in a position where you can't see it once you've parked your car, so it seems like they don't want you to use the priority space... (Original) 入口入って左が産直的なコーナー、左が各種お土産やお酒の試飲コーナーなど。 駐車場の建物向かって左に車椅子マークの描かれた駐車スペースあり。とは言え、そのスペースに駐輪用のベースが置かれていることに、意識の低さが…。 EV充電器の看板も車停めたら見えない位置だし、優先スペースを使わす気が無いとしか…。

(Translated by Google) There was a ticket machine selling soft serve ice cream and other treats inside the shop, so I bought a cream parfait for 700 yen. The fillings weren't fruit, and you could choose from sweet bean paste dumplings with sweet sake, mitarashi dumplings, taiyaki, and more. It was like a Japanese-style parfait. I think it's an irresistible treat for those with a sweet tooth. (Original) 店内にソフトクリーム等売ってる券売機があり、クリームパフェ700円を購入しました。 具材はフルーツではなく、甘酒入りこし餡団子であったり、みたらし団子であったり、鯛焼きなど、選べるようです。 和風のパフェといったところです。 甘党の方には堪らない逸品だと思います。

(Translated by Google) This is a roadside station in Okuizumo. I stopped by on my way to Yasugi City. Perhaps because it was still early in the morning, there weren't many people there. When I entered the store, there was an incredible selection of alcohol souvenirs, as the name "sake brewery" suggests. There was a wide variety, from small, affordable items to larger, slightly more expensive ones. There was also a wide selection of soba noodles and sweets. It was a shame that I stopped by on the way there instead of on the way back. If I had stopped by on the way back, I might have bought a lot more. I wasn't very familiar with Okuizumo, but I didn't know it was also a sake-producing region. (Original) 奥出雲の道の駅です。安来市に行く途中で立ち寄りました。まだ朝が早かったためか、人は少なかったです。お店に入ると、「酒蔵」と名がついているだけあって、お酒類のお土産がやたら豊富でした。小さくてお手頃の値段のものから大きくてちょっと高級なものまで色々あります。 そばやお菓子類も豊富です。帰りではなく行きに寄ってしまったのが残念でした。帰りに寄ったら色々と買っていたかもしれません。奥出雲という土地はあまり馴染みがありませんでしたが、酒どころでもあったんですね。

(Translated by Google) I bought Nita rice crackers, Nita rice cold noodles, and butternut squash. I made a potage soup with the butternut squash. It was rich, thick, and delicious. The Nita rice crackers were also fragrant and very tasty. (Original) 仁多米煎餅、仁多米冷麺、バターナッツかぼちゃを買いました。 バターナッツかぼちゃでポタージュスープ作りました。 濃厚でもったりとして美味しかったです。 仁多米煎餅も香ばしくてとても美味です。

(Translated by Google) This roadside station is built in the style of a storehouse. As you'd expect from a sake brewery, there's a wide variety of alcohol! There's also a hot spring stand in one corner of the parking lot. 2024.12.3 I stopped by before going to Tamamine Sanso. 2025.9.2 I went to Tamamine Sanso for the first time in a while, but it was closed... I stopped by the Sake Brewery Roadside Station, which was renovated in February of this year. To the left of the entrance there's a new local produce corner, and directly in front there's a new corner for products registered as Japanese Agricultural Heritage Sites.

Interesting display with Google translate helped with. We went there to buy a kitchen knife for my son-in-law and we were successful!

If somebody needs to get understanding about Japanese Tatara steel making process,,,, this is the best place in Okuizumo area in Matsue.

Nice to learn about Tatara sword which is a huge traditional industry in Okuizumo :)

Anciant technology of metal processing

I enjoyed my time here and loved learning about world making! I want to visit again and share this place with more foreign visitors ✨

(Translated by Google) This is a precious place where swords are still being made using traditional methods. About twice a month, visitors can observe the forging process at the forge, and it was amazing to be able to see the actual work up close. Although they did not sell swords, they did sell knives made from tamahagane, as well as the tamahagane itself before it is used to make swords. Tamahagane is extremely rare, and recently, due to the influence of anime, it seems to sell out quickly. (Original) な方法で作り続けている貴重な場所です。月に2回ほど鍛冶場での鍛錬見学も行われており、実際の作業風景を間近で見られるのは圧巻でした。 刀の販売はありませんでしたが、玉鋼を使ったナイフや、刀に使う前の玉鋼そのものも販売されていました。玉鋼は非常に希少で、最近はアニメの影響もあってすぐに売り切れてしまうそうです。

(Translated by Google) [The soul of Japanese "iron" inherited in Okuizumo] Visiting the Okuizumo Tatara and Sword Museum was a valuable experience to learn how advanced the traditional Japanese iron-making technique "tatara iron-making" is and how it is still being passed down today. I was surprised and even moved to learn that this ancient technique remains indispensable to modern swordsmiths. Tatara iron-making is a unique Japanese iron-making method that uses iron sand and charcoal to make iron. At this museum, I learned that this technique is not just a craft or historical heritage, but is an "active technique" that is still in use today. For those who are learning for the first time, it may be shocking to know that most of the "tamahagane" (steel) used in Japanese swords and traditional crafts is born from the tatara in Okuizumo. The fact that the tatara iron made in this region is essential to the production of high-quality swords is clearly conveyed through the exhibits, videos, and actual materials. Inside the museum, you can see a model that recreates the structure and process of tatara ironmaking, as well as precious footage of actual operations. Through these, you can see how ancient ironmaking was made possible by human wisdom and effort, and coexistence with nature. In particular, the story that the success or failure of tatara ironmaking depended heavily on the judgment of the operation manager, called "murage," shows how important it was not only to pass on techniques, but also to people's senses and experiences. The sword exhibit was also overwhelming. I was reminded that Japanese swords are not just weapons, but also works of art and symbols of spiritual culture. The skill and heart of the craftsman that goes into each and every sword, and the materials that support them - it is deeply meaningful that the source of these materials is right here in Okuizumo. This is a wonderful facility where you can learn about history while also experiencing the essence of craftsmanship that is relevant to the present day. It is also a very valuable tourist spot, and I would especially recommend it to those who are interested in craftsmanship and history. Come experience the soul and skill that goes into Japanese "iron" at this museum nestled in the nature of Okuizumo. (Original) 【奥出雲に受け継がれる、日本の“鉄”の魂】 奥出雲たたらと刀剣館を訪れ、日本の伝統的な製鉄技術「たたら製鉄」がいかに高度で、そして今なお受け継がれているのかを知る貴重な体験ができました。古代から連綿と続く技術が、現代の刀匠たちにも不可欠な存在として残っていることに驚き、感動すら覚えました。 たたら製鉄とは、砂鉄と木炭を使って鉄を作り出す日本独自の製鉄法。その技術は単なる工芸や歴史の遺産にとどまらず、今も実際に活かされている“現役の技術”であることをこの館で学びました。日本刀や伝統工芸に用いられる「玉鋼（たまはがね）」のほとんどが、奥出雲のたたらから生まれているという事実は、初めて知る人にとって衝撃的かもしれません。良質な刀剣の製作には、この地域で生まれるたたら鉄が不可欠であるということが、展示や映像、実物の資料からもひしひしと伝わってきます。 館内では、たたら製鉄の構造や工程を再現した模型や、実際の操業時の様子を撮影した貴重な映像を見ることができます。それらを通して、古来の製鉄がいかに人の知恵と努力、自然との共存によって成り立っていたかがよくわかりました。特に「村下（むらげ）」と呼ばれる操業責任者の判断力が、たたら製鉄の成否を大きく左右したという話は、技術の継承だけでなく、人の感覚や経験がいかに大切にされていたかを物語っています。 また、刀剣の展示も圧巻でした。日本刀が単なる武器ではなく、美術品であり、精神文化の象徴でもあることを再認識できました。一振り一振りに込められた職人の技と心、それを支える素材――その素材の源が、まさにここ奥出雲にあるということに深い意味を感じます。 歴史を学びながら、現代にも通じるものづくりの本質に触れることができる素晴らしい施設です。観光としても非常に価値があり、ものづくりや歴史に興味がある方には特におすすめしたい場所です。 奥出雲の自然の中に佇むこの館で、日本の“鉄”に込められた魂と技術の重みを、肌で感じてみてください。

I went as part of an Okuizumo tour. We had green tea while learning about the history of the place. It was a home where feudal lords stayed while doing business for iron and steel in the area. So the house was luxurious for its time. The manmade waterfalls and garden were beautiful and charming.

Very good

(Translated by Google) VIVANT filming location I was finally able to visit. To Okuizumo Sakurai family It has been passed down from generation to generation for many years This is a historical museum with a collection of things. A descendant of Sengoku warlord Danemon Hanawa. Matsue Domain's ``Gatetsu Forging Method'' Around the Chugoku Mountains It's a town that prospered because of its iron manufacturing industry. I realized this again. land related to me I learned that he is also related to the Sakurai family. I felt like I got a glimpse of the roots of my hometown. Also at the Tatara Kakuro Tradition Museum I wanted to go I couldn't go because it was undergoing repair work. When spring comes I will go again. (Original) VIVANT のロケ地 やっと訪れることが出来ました。 奥出雲櫻井家に 長年累代に渡り伝えられてきた ものを集成した歴史資料館です。 戦国の武将塙団右衛門の末裔家 松江藩の「御鉄砲地鉄鍛方」 中国山地周辺が 製鉄で栄えた町なのだなぁ とあらためて認識しました。 自分と関係する土地が 櫻井家とも関係しているのを知り 故郷のルーツを垣間見た気がしました。 たたら角炉伝承館にも 行きたかったのですが 補修工事中だそうで行けませんでした。 春になったら また行きます。

(Translated by Google) There were many exhibits related to the history of the Sakurai family and the history of steelmaking in Japan. (Original) 櫻井家の歴史、日本の製鉄史に関する資料が多数展示されていました。

(Translated by Google) I entered the museum on a casual basis after eating soba noodles, but my husband spent some time looking at the collection, and I enjoyed the beauty of the buildings and gardens. The Sakurai family residence, which is also a nationally important cultural property, is not only magnificent as a building, but also has a splendid garden with a high waterfall, the purity of the river flowing beside it, the depth of the greenery, and the beauty of the pool. It was a place where I wanted to take a deep breath and relax. (Original) 蕎麦を食べたついでにと、軽い気持ちで入館したのですが、主人は所蔵品を眺めるのに時間を費やし、私は建物や庭の美しさを堪能しました。 国重要文化財でもある櫻井家住宅は、建物の立派さもさることながら、流れ落ちる高い滝を取り入れた庭の見事さ、横に流れる川の清らかさ、翠の濃さ、淵の美しさ。深呼吸し、ゆっくり過ごしたい場所でした。

(Translated by Google) The house and garden of the Sakurai family, who once made a fortune in tatara iron manufacturing, as well as documents, tatara iron manufacturing tools, and furniture are on display. There are also a few buses running from Izumo Mitsunari Station. It takes about 30 minutes. First of all, the structure of the building is impressive. The room has an elegant appearance and is spacious. The Japanese garden is so beautiful that it can truly be called a work of art. Soothe your soul with the autumn leaves and the sound of the waterfall It can be said that it is miraculous that there are so many first-class buildings and highly artistic Japanese gardens deep in the mountains of Izumo. This alone shows that tatara iron manufacturing was an important industry that supported the nation. From the many exhibits on display, you can see the prosperity of the Sakurai family, which was rich in tatara iron manufacturing. By the way, the Sakurai family was originally a vassal of Takeda Shingen, but after the fall of the Takeda family, they moved to the Fukushima family, then the Asano family, and then settled in their current location and started a steel manufacturing business. I think it's worth seeing at any time of the year, but you should visit from early to mid-November when the autumn leaves are especially beautiful. (Original) かつてたたら製鉄で財を成した、桜井家の住宅と庭園、資料やたたら製鉄の道具、調度品など展示している。 わずかながら出雲三成駅からバスも運行している。所要30分ほど。 まず建物の造りが圧巻だ。部屋も上品な佇まいだし、何よりも広い。 そして、日本庭園がまさに芸術品と言うべき美しさである。 紅葉と滝のせせらぎに心癒される 出雲の山奥に、これだけの一級品の建築物と芸術性の高い日本庭園があることが奇跡的と言ってもよい。 それだけ、たたら製鉄が国家を支える重要な産業だったことが分かる。 展示品の数々からも、たたら製鉄で潤った桜井家の栄華というものが伺い知れる。 ちなみに桜井家は元々あの武田信玄の家臣だったが、武田家滅亡後は福島家、浅野家と転々とし、今の地に落ち着いて製鉄業を始めたとのこと。 どの時期でも見応えはあると思うが、とりわけ紅葉が美しい11月上～中旬に訪れるべきである。

(Translated by Google) I visited in early November 2020. When I drove to the site from the Matsue area, I was surprised to see such a magnificent mansion suddenly appear in the mountains of Okuizumo, far from the city center. Personally, I was interested in the fact that our family is related to a famous military commander who was famous during the Sengoku period. When I looked into it, I learned that the general was unfortunately killed in a major battle, and that his family later moved to this area after running a steel manufacturing business in Kabe, Hiroshima. However, when I came to Okuizumo, I felt a sense of romance and connection to the history of the time when Japan was moving. His skills as an ironsmith were also reliable, and the quality of his iron was highly praised throughout the country. The mansion, garden, and museum were nice, but the view of the mountain range to the west from the garden of the mansion had a majestic feel and was wonderful. What does it look like during the winter snow season? (Original) 2020年の11月上旬に訪問しました。松江方面から車で現地に行って見ると、奥出雲の、しかも中心地からから離れた山奥に、このような立派な屋敷が忽然と姿を現し、驚きました。 個人的に興味をひかれたのは、当家は、戦国に名を馳せた、ある有名な武将にゆかりがあるそうです。調べてみると、その武将は、残念ながら大きな合戦で戦死しており、一族はその後、広島の可部の地で製鉄業を営んだ後、更にこの地に移ったそうです。 しかしこの奥出雲に来て、日本を動かした当時の歴史との繋がりや、ロマンをも感じさせる気がしました。 鉄師としての技術も確かで、鉄の品質について、全国的にも高い評価を得たそうです。 邸宅や庭園、資料館も良かったですが、屋敷の庭から見た西側の山並みが雄大な感じがして素敵でした。冬の雪の時期にはどのようになっているでしょうか。

Beautiful!! The natural carpet with yellow leaves is a sight to behold

Good

(Translated by Google) After eating soba noodles at Kamedake on November 17th, I went to see the giant ginkgo tree. Although it was raining, there seemed to be no shortage of visitors. I was able to park my car right away in a nearby free parking lot. The ginkgo trees were shedding their leaves, and the thatched roof and ground were dyed yellow, making it very beautiful. It looked like all the leaves would fall off soon, so I'm glad I got there in time. (Original) 11月17日亀嵩でお蕎麦を食べた後、大銀杏を見に行きました。 雨が降る中でしたが訪れる人は途切れない感じでした。車は近くの無料駐車場にすぐ止めることが出来ました。 銀杏ははらはらと葉を落としていて茅葺きの屋根や地面は黄色く染まってとても美しかったです。 もうすぐ葉はすっかり落ちてしまいそうだったので間に合って良かったです。

(Translated by Google) Visited on November 23, 2024 I went to worship hoping I could still see it, but most of it had scattered and only a few remained. The leaves falling on the roof and the pine trees created an indescribable atmosphere, and I thought it was a good thing to see. It seems difficult to clean up though If I have a chance, I will visit again. (Original) 2024年11月23日に参拝 まだ見れるかなと思い参拝に伺いましたが、ほぼ散って、ほんの一部に残っているだけでした。 屋根や松の木に落ちた葉が何とも言えない雰囲気を表し、これはこれでいいものが見れたなと思いました。 片付けが大変そうだけど また機会があれば参拝に伺います。

(Translated by Google) I was able to visit this year as well✨ The 723-year-old giant ginkgo tree is wonderful, and you can feel the splendor and strength of the breath of life. This year, I was also able to receive a new title. I did. The best time to see them is in early November.When I went to see them on October 27, 2023, there was a mixture of yellow and green leaves. When I visited again on 2023.11.2, it was in full yellow 🟡 bloom✨😮 When I visited on 2024.11.13, the thatched roof had been newly installed and the temple had become splendid. In addition, a special Goshuin stamp was awarded to commemorate the thatched roof. When I visited, the elderly staff member told me that the ginkgo trees would be at their best during this week. When I purchased a new goshuin book for Kongonji Temple. I also received a goshuin bag. I was grateful. I love the homey feel of this temple. I'm thinking of visiting again next year. (Original) 今年も伺うことが出来ました✨ 樹齢723年の大銀杏は素晴らしく生命の息吹の素晴らしさ、力強さを感じます。 今年は新しい御首題も頂くことも出来 ました。11月の上旬が見頃です2023.10.27に観に行った時は、黄色と緑の葉が混ざり合ってました。2023.11.2に再度訪れた際、黄色🟡満開になってました✨😮2024.11.13に伺った際は、茅葺き屋根が新調されていて寺院が立派になっていました。更に茅葺き屋根記念として、特別御朱印が授与されました。訪れた時が、イチョウが見頃で今週いっぱいなのではないだろうかと、スタッフのおじいさんが言われていました。 金言寺用の御朱印帳も新しく購入した際 御朱印袋もいただきました。ありがたかったです。このお寺のアットホームなところが大好きです。また来年も訪れようと思っています

(Translated by Google) Revisited on 15/11/2024. This year, I was able to come right in the middle of the autumn leaves. It's at its peak now. A certain day on 11/11/2023. Apparently the leaves were blown off by the strong winds last night. There is a parking lot right next to the tree, but it costs 500 yen. The last 50 meters or so of the road are narrow and it is difficult to pass other vehicles, so it may be better to use the free parking lot about 3 minutes walk away. Especially for large vehicles. This is a magnificent large ginkgo tree. The area around the tree is well maintained. I am grateful for the efforts of the local people. I would like to come and see it again next year. (Original) 2024/11/15 再訪。 今年は紅葉ど真ん中に来れました。今がピークですね。 2023/11某日。 昨晩の強風で葉が散ってしまったそうです。 樹のすぐ横に駐車場が有りますが有料です。500円。最後の50m程が道が狭く離合が困難なので徒歩3分くらいに有る無料駐車場を使った方が良いかも。特に大型車は。 見事な大銀杏です。樹の周りも整備されています。地元の方の努力に感謝です。 来年も見に来たいと思います。

(Translated by Google) On November 4th (2022), about half of the leaves had fallen, but the color was a vibrant yellow, and I was able to see it at its best, with the ground also turning yellow from the fallen leaves. Last year, they were still green, so it was quite moving. I went on October 30th (2021), but it was still green, which was a shame. Normally, the leaves turn yellow, and locals set up food stalls. But it's a huge ginkgo tree with a strong presence. I'd like to come again. There was a local security guard at the parking lot, but he was directing people aimlessly, so it was a little difficult to find. (Original) (2022年)11月4日、半分くらい落ちてましたが、色は鮮やかな黄色、落ち葉で地面も黄色の最高の時に出会えました。去年は、まだ緑でしたので感動です。 (2021年)10月30日に行きましたが、まだ緑色、残念です。例年なら、黄色になっているらしく、地元の方々の屋台とかも出てました。 でも存在感のある大銀杏ですね。また来たいと思います。 駐車場への地元の方の警備の方もいらっしゃいましたが、漫然と誘導していて、ちょっと分かりにくかったですね。

(Translated by Google) A video of the abacus manufacturing process was played. It was interesting to learn about the details of each material, such as the frame and beads, until they are made into exquisite pieces. (Original) そろばんの製造工程のビデオを流してもらいました。 枠や珠などそれぞれの材料から精品になるまでが詳しくわかって興味深かったです。

(Translated by Google) I learned a lot about the history of the abacus and how it is made. The items on display are a bit old. There was a challenge corner where you put the abacus beads in, which was difficult. The staff member immediately showed me how to do it. (Original) そろばんの歴史と作り方がとてもよくわかった。展示してある物はちょっと古い。そろばんの玉を入れるチャレンジコーナーがあり、難しかった。係の方はすぐにやって見せてくれたが。

(Translated by Google) I remember learning about the Unshu abacus in social studies when I was in elementary school. The man at the reception was friendly and we had a good conversation. (Original) 小学生のときに社会科で雲州そろばんのことを習ったことを思い出しました。 受付のおじさんが気さくな方で、話がはずみました。

(Translated by Google) I can't play the abacus, but I was surprised that there were so many different kinds of abacus. (Original) 算盤はできませんが、いろいろな算盤があるのには驚きでした。

(Translated by Google) At an altitude of 1143m, it is also known as Torihair Peak. It is said that this is the mountain where the eight-pronged serpent that was defeated by Susanoo no Mikoto lived. The Torikami Falls route takes 45 to 60 minutes from the trailhead to the summit. The mountain trail is well-maintained and there are no steep climbs, making it easy to climb as it mainly consists of gentle slopes and stairs. There aren't any great sights to see during the climb, just Torigami Falls, which flows along the way, and you can't see any scenery as you climb through the forest to the top. At the top of the mountain is a plaza called Tengu's Dohyoba, with a large 360° panoramic view and a monument to Ama no Murakumo. If the weather is good, you can see Mt. Daisen and Mt. Sanbe clearly. It is a mountain that is easy to climb even for beginners and allows you to enjoy the open summit with a simple climb. As you climb along the Hii River, the river and the mountain trail intersect several times. If it rained heavily the day before, water would flow onto the road. It's not enough to get your feet wet, but it's easy to get muddy. Light mountain climbing clothing and shoes are recommended. I don't think you need to be prepared, but I don't recommend wearing casual clothes or sneakers as it can lead to fatigue and injury. Parking available. You can park near the trailhead. There are no restrooms at the base, but in a hut at the top of the mountain. (Original) 標高1143mで鳥髪の峰とも呼ばれる。須佐之男命に倒された八岐大蛇が棲んでいた山と云われている。 鳥上滝ルートで登山口から頂上まで45〜60分。登山道は整備されており急登は無く、緩やかな坂と階段が中心で登りやすい。 登山中はこれといった見所はなく、途中に流れる鳥上滝ぐらいで景色は見えず森林の中を頂上まで登っていく。山頂は天狗の土俵場と呼ばれる広場になっており360°の大パノラマと天之叢雲の碑がある。天気が良ければ大山や三瓶山が良く見える。 初心者でも登りやすく、お手軽登山で開放的な山頂を楽しめる山です。 斐伊川沿いに登っていくので何度か川と登山道は交錯する。前日にまとまった雨が降ると道に水が流れ込む。足が浸かる程ではないが泥濘みはできやすいと思ってください。 服装や靴は軽登山用を推奨。本格的な用意は必要無いと思うが普段着やスニーカーだと疲労や怪我につながるのでオススメしない。 駐車場あり。登山口付近に停めれます。トイレは麓になく、山頂の小屋にあります。

(Translated by Google) On February 27th, on my way back from fetching water at the foot of Mt. Funadori, I saw a beautiful snow-covered mountain near Torigami Elementary School, so I took a photo of it. On April 19th, I went up to see the Katakuri flowers. This year I went to the Kameishi course for the first time. The sound of the flowing water in the stream was soothing, and the beech forest was starting to bud softly in some areas, making it very beautiful. The stairs were tougher than the Torigami course, but by the time I reached the junction and saw a cluster of Japanese anthracite, the fatigue was gone in an instant. I arrived a day later than last year, but it felt like it was already in full bloom or a little past. At the top, there were mounds of soil dug up by moles here and there. I think there were a lot fewer flowers compared to last year. We were blessed with clear skies and the 360 ​​degree view was truly spectacular. After descending the mountain, I took a refreshing dip in the hot springs at Tamamine Sanso. (Original) ２月２７日船通山の麓に水汲みに行った帰り、鳥上小学校付近から雪山がきれいだったので一枚とりました。 4月19日カタクリの花を見に登りました。今年は初めて、亀石コースを行きました。沢の流れの水音が心地よく、ブナ林は一部で柔らかく芽吹きはじめていてとてもきれいでした。鳥上コースより階段部分がきつかったですが、合流地点にたどり着きカタクリの群生が目に飛び込んできたときには、一気に疲れは吹き飛んじゃいました。去年より、１日遅く来ましたが、もう満開状態か少し過ぎたくらいに感じました。頂上は、あちらこちらにモグラが掘り返した土が盛り上がっていました。昨年に比較してかなり花の数がすくなかったように思います。晴天に恵まれ３６０度見渡せる景色はやはり最高でした。下山して、玉峰山荘の温泉につかり、リフレッシュしました。

(Translated by Google) A cluster of Katakuri flowers wonderful Today (5/10) the day before there's a rainstorm Most of the petals were blown away Is it because it's wet? What happened Although it was suitable for When it's in full bloom Looks amazing It felt like I'll come next year Also mountaintop The scenery It's the best It's spacious 360 degrees amazing scenery (Original) カタクリの花の群生が 素晴らしい 本日（5/10）は 前日に 暴風雨があり ほとんど花びらが飛ばされたり 濡れてるためか したを 向いてましたが 満開だと 凄そうな 感じでした 来年　きます また 山頂の 景観が 最高です 広いし ３６０度 素晴らしい景観

(Translated by Google) I live in Matsue, Shimane. My hobbies are mountain climbing and mountain walking, but this year I just wasn't in the mood and couldn't make much of a plan. Meanwhile, a colleague at work was just talking about the Katakuri on Mt. Funatsu, so I decided to take the opportunity to climb it and see it. I climbed from the Torigami Falls course and descended from the Kameishi course, and it felt very nice to go up and down along the refreshing clear stream. The katakuri was a little late in the season, and it looked like it was starting to wither, but I was still able to see it for the first time, and I was impressed to see so many of them blooming near the top of the mountain. We were blessed with very good weather that day, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain. I could see Mt. Daisen and Mt. Sanbe in the distance, the cityscape of Yokota below, and the mountains of the Shimane Peninsula and Hiroshima in the distance. I think I understand why ancient people made this a sacred place. (Visited on May 4, 2024) (Original) 地元島根の松江に住んでおります。登山・山歩きが趣味ですが、どうも今年は気分が乗らず、あまり計画が立てられずにいました。 そんな中、会社の同僚が、ちょうどこの船通山のカタクリの話をされていて、折角だからと一度登って見ることにしました。 鳥上瀧コースから登り、亀石コースから降りましたが、爽やかな清流に沿って上り下りする感じで、とても気持ち良かったです。カタクリは時期的には少し遅く、やや萎れかけた感じでしたが、それでも初めて見ることが出来、また山頂付近では結構沢山咲いていて、感激しました。 当日はとても良い天候に恵まれ、山頂では綺麗な景色を堪能することが出来ました。遠く大山に三瓶山、眼下には横田の街並み、また遠くの島根半島の山々や広島の山々なども広く見渡すことが出来ました。古代の人達がここを聖地とした理由が分かったようにも思えました。(2024/5/4訪問)

(Translated by Google) We started the climb from the Torikami Falls trailhead on the Shimane side. The trail runs along the river from the entrance to Torikami Falls, about the sixth station?, and there are places where you have to walk across. The wet rocks are quite slippery. You can climb slowly while listening to the murmuring of the river. The summit offers a 360° panorama, with views of Mt. Oyama and Mt. Sanbe. There is also a shelter, which can be used except in the winter season. (I believe it is prohibited to use from December to March, so don't count on it if you are climbing in the winter.) The slope and distance are not too steep, so even middle-school children should be able to climb it, but since the trail runs along the river, it may be better to cancel the climb if there is heavy rain or the weather the day before. (Original) 島根県側の鳥上滝登山口から登山しました。 入口から６合目？くらいにある鳥上滝までは登山道が川の側にあり、所々歩いて渡る場所があります。 濡れた岩は結構滑ります。 川のせせらぎを聞きながら、ゆっくりと登れます。 山頂は３６０°パノラマで、大山や三瓶山が見えます。 避難小屋もあり、冬シーズンを除いて利用可能です。（確か12月〜3月が使用禁止、冬季やる方は絶対にアテにしないでください。） 斜度や距離も厳しくなく、小学生中学年くらいでも登れると思いますが、川に沿う登山道ですので大雨や前日の天候次第では登山を中止した方が良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) In late April, I climb the mountain every year to see the lady of wildflowers, the Katakuri. There is the Kameishi course, which has a trailhead just after turning left from Hinoue-so, and the Torigami Falls course, which has a trailhead just straight ahead. Even if you go by car, you can often climb the Torigami Falls course, which has a trailhead close to the mountain. There are a lot of Japanese katakuri growing on the side of the wooden path just before the top of the mountain. Is there anything else that can only be seen here? It is a treasure trove of wildflowers such as oxalis spp., oxalis spp., oxalis spp. At this time of year, various flowers are blooming, such as japonica japonica, akibana akigiri, akebonosou, tsurifunesou, aconite, and hototogisu. During the fall foliage season, it's refreshing to climb the mountain while stepping on the yellow and red fallen leaves that cover the mountain trail. It's an affordable mountain for me, as I can get there in just over an hour from my house and climb it in less than an hour and a half. After descending the mountain, we will work up a sweat at Hinoge-so, a slippery hot spring famous for its beauty baths, and then go to our favorite soba restaurant. This is my favorite place for the mountains, flowers, hot springs, and soba noodles ＼(^_^)／ (Original) ４月の下旬、山野草の貴婦人＝カタクリを見に毎年登ります。 斐乃上荘から程なく左に曲がって進んだところに登山口がある亀石コースとずっとまっすぐ進んだところに登山口がある鳥上滝コースがあります。 車で行くのに登山口が山に近い鳥上滝コースを良く登ります。 カタクリは頂上手前の木道の脇～頂上にはそれはもうたくさん群生しています。 ほかにもここでしか見れない？サンインシロカネソウ、ミヤマカタバミ、ボタンネコノメソウ、サワハコベ、ヒメレンゲ等山野草の宝庫です。 今の時期はウメバチソウ、キバナアキギリ、アケボノソウ、ツリフネソウ、トリカブト、ホトトギス等様々な花が咲いています。 紅葉の季節、登山道を覆う黄色、赤色の落ち葉を踏み締めながら登るのも爽快です。 家から１時間強で着き、１時間半かからずに登れる私にとって手頃な山です。 また、下山後、美人の湯で有名なつるつる温泉＝斐乃上荘で汗を流し、ひいきのお蕎麦屋さんのはしごをします。 山良し、花良し、温泉良し、蕎麦良しの私のお気に入り場所です＼(^_^)／

(Translated by Google) It was a mountain where you could walk while feeling the roots of the Yamata no Orochi myth. The well-maintained hiking trail is recommended for climbing on a clear day with fresh greenery. It feels very pleasant and refreshing. I think it is a place that will evoke deep emotions for fans of Japanese mythology. Changing your route for ascent and descent will make hiking even more enjoyable. (Original) ヤマタノオロチ神話のルーツを感じながら歩ける山でした。良く整備された登山道は、新緑の良く晴れた日に登るのがオススメ。とても気持ちが良く、気分がリフレッシュできます。日本神話が好きな人には感慨深い場所だと思います。登りと下りのルートを変えると山歩きが更に楽しめます。
