*oo-iwa-go （大岩郷）*
While we were heading for the temple with Higan-bana (previous post), my husband had noticed the road sign of "oo-iwa-go （大岩郷）" and remembered visiting there a couple of decades ago. As I've never visited there, he kindly made a deter for me to see the rocks. If I translate each character of "大岩郷" literally, they mean,"large-rock-countryside". There are 2 theories how this "Sea of Rock" created. One of them is diastrophism. Nature never stop surprise us with its amazing creation.
In 1945, this place was recognized as a national natural treasure.
Thank you very
much for stopping by;
I hope you will have a wonderful weekend and new week.

Beautiful flowers and I like the rocks too.
ReplyDeleteAmazing the way those beautiful flowers grow in that rocky soil. I once worked for a geologist and he loved rocks and rock formations (of course, since that was his field). He would have loved this place.
