Benkei-Nanamodori, Mt. Tsukuba, Tsukuba city, Ibaraki pref, Japan.
先日は「東の筑波、西の富士」と並び称される
茨城県の霊峰・筑波山へ登山してきました！
晴れるかなと高をくくっていたら
雨足は強くなるばかり…泣
靴とか泥だらけになって登山そのものは悲惨でしたが、
不幸中の幸いというか、
濃い霧に包まれた霊山は神隠しに逢うかと思うぐらい神秘的でした…
ここは奇岩スポットでもっとも有名な「弁慶七戻り（べんけいななもどり）」
2枚目見たらその大きさが分かると思いますが、
この絶妙なバランスで乗っかっている大岩を前に
あの弁慶が七歩後ずさりした、という伝説から来ているそうです
3枚目は「北斗岩」です

Mt. Tsukuba-san is well-known as one of the most famous and sacred mountains in Japan, so-called like 'Mt. Fuji in the West, Mt. Tsukuba in the East', located in Tsukuba city, Ibaraki prefecture, where has its double peaks as Nyotai-san (means "female body") 877 m (2,877 ft) and Nantai-san (means "male body") 871 m (2,858 ft).
When I climbed up to Mt. Tsukuba, the rain got heavier gradually. Unfortunately I got wet and muddy, on the other hands, I luckily could see such a mysterious and spritual foggy view. This big rocks are named 'Benkei Nanamodori', which came from that Benkei, who was one of the most famous samurai and a vassal of Yoshitsune, took 7 steps backwards the moment he saw such an unbalanced huge rock.
I hope you'll understand how big it is to see the 2nd photo. The 3rd photo is another huge rocks named 'Hokuto-iwa'(Polar stars rocks).
