Bridge near friend's home

After I drunk beer with my friend in front of station, I walked to his home. There was a old style bridge between station and his home. It was very beautiful.
Later, I drunk whisky with him and swept in his home.

Iwakluni main street

After I climbed Mt. Gyoujya-yama, I went to Iwakuni city. Before I would meet my friend, I walked around station.
Shopping mole was empty. Many stores were closed. It was a silent town.
Perhaps, most of young moved to big city.

Lance in Kuba

The small summit in front of me was Mt. Kuba-yari. Yari was a Japanese which mean lance. In japan, many mountain which have sharp summit called so.
I would stand there after I down to the col once.

Real summit

In the back of shrine, there was a triangulation point. So, it was real summit of Mt. Gyoujya-yama. The height was only 313 m. But, it had a nice landscape.

Shrine at the summit

At the summit, there was a new shrine.
It was a nice mountain, because it had nice landscape, historic objects and varied road. They are the important reason for my favorite mountain.
I would't return same road. I would walk around in the mountain. Fortunately, it was not rain until then.

Could see Setouch sea and islands

I could see Setouch sea and Kuba town from middle of Mt. Gyoujya-yama. The island was famous Miyajima island.
i like mountains near the see, because most of them have a good landscape of the see.

Shrine at vertical rock

There was a small shrine at the narrow space beside vertical rock wall. I considered how to built it at such high and narrow space.
It was inside of wood door. I opened the door and entered it. There was a beautiful small shrine. It was very clean. It must be washed by local residents.

Objects referenced with religion

The name of mountain was Gyouja. Gyouja was a Japanese ward which means that prayer who climb hard mountain in order to be near god.
So, there were many objects which referenced with religion.

Entrance was shrine

Entrance of climbing road was at inside of shrine. It was very silent place. I like such silent and historical place.
I got a hope which it would be a nice climbing.

Mt. Gyoujya-yama

I went to my friend's home in Iwakuni today. There was a famous mountain between Iwakuni and Hiroshima. It was Mt. Gyojya-yama. So, I planned to climb it before I would go to his home.
Whether report said it would be rain. But, I decided to climb it.

Certified to climbed Mt. Youtei-zan

Town Kyougoku in Hokkaido send me a post card. The postcard was a certification of I'd climbed Mt. Youtei-zan. It is sent to everyone who exhibit the plan to climb and take into the postbox at the entrance of climbing road.
It was a present from town Kyougoku. It made me happy a little.

Fix my backpack

I have used 65 litter backpack about 10 years. In these years, some parts of it are broken. It's because damage from rain, wind and sunshine, etc.
During climbing journey in Hokkaido, most important sling was split half.

Bear stream

I read the book which had a title "Kuma Arashi". Kuma means bear in English. Arashi means stream. In the novel, it be written that when the big bear in Hokkaido was killed by hunter, hard stream always happen.
In Taisho period, big bear attacked village in silent valley, and killed 6 people only in 2 days. Residents afraid and escaped from the village and call police. But, 100 policemen could't kill the bear and afraid.
At last, an old hunter killed it only by two shoots.
The novel said many things. For example, 100 amateur can't win one professional.
It was a very very nice story.
