Binshiyama

One heck of a view

I'm not going to mince words: hiking Binshiyama is *hard*. We completed the entire Iseji Kumano Kodo over two-weeks and this was far and away the most grueling climb. Hour after hour of stairs! But...

Elephant back

Original Text

The first thing that appears when you reach the top of the mountain is the back of the elephant, not the photo. You can see it because it is surrounded by a fence and the scenery is not open. The real thing is further down from there. ※ Refrain from dangerous acts aimed at photogenicity.

２ on the way to the Kumano Kodo course

Original Text

The Makoshi Pass course was not so burdensome due to the difference in elevation about half the difference from the Yakiyama crossing course on the first day, but it was still quite difficult not only to the difference in elevation but also to the image of a sudden climb. Still, as originally planned, I went to this flight to Ishiyama. Compared to ３２５ｍ at the pass, it was nearly twice as much as ５９９ｍ, so the sense of accomplishment and exhilaration when I arrived at the top was quite good. The view from the top is superb, the old road is also hidden under the eye 々, and the roof of the mountain village 々 is also a telescope.
