魏石鬼の岩窟

The mountain road to the cave is lined with stone buddhas and has a good atmosphere. The cave is a rare old burial mound called the dolmen style, and is there any connection with Azumi?

Shizukuishi Caves Nishinari Iwaya Hotaka Ariake Miyagi Castle in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture In Sakauetamura Maro To compete Stone Stone Demon Eight Faces Great There is a tradition of standing up In other words, a fight for battle But according to the attached image Obviously an old tomb With an old tomb around AD 570 It is guessed From Sakauetamura Maro About 150 years old Anyway Azumino City Hotaka The reason why I made an old burial mound in the mountain Mr. Azumi of the sea people from the sea Go up the river and be the chief Worth a look

We arrived on a mountain path like an animal trail, but it seems that the correct answer is from there, as the road extends from the nearby Shopukuji precincts.

It is written as Shizukuki Cave and reads “Gishiki no Iwaya”. Shizukuishi Oni is a local Australian who has been subjugated by Sakaueda Village Maro. This Iwaya is regarded as a fort that was built by Hachimyō Daio against Maro Tamura. However, this rock formation is a dolmen tomb. In other words, an ancient artifact. The approach is Ariakeyama Shrine Parking Lot → Kurumaya → Up the stairs to Shofukuji Temple → Horizontal sidewalk along the mountain → Kannon-do (underneath Shizukuki Onigoku!). The same is true for the outbound and return journeys. Although it is not so far from the parking lot, it is good to expect one hour round trip including the tour time because it climbs the stone steps of Shofukuji and the horizontal footpath along the mountain is a narrow mountain road. There are many stone Buddhas on the horizontal sidewalk.

Ruins of an old burial mound? It is located where you entered the bamboo bush. I can't park my car nearby I think it's a good idea to park your car at Ariakezan Shrine and walk after visiting Ariakezan Shrine.

Iwaya is said to have been confronted by Shogun Sakanoue Tamura Maro. The fact is that it is an ancient burial mound in the latter half of the 6th century. Dolmen-style burial mounds, so-called dolmens, are rare types of burial mounds in Japan and can be found in some areas such as Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki, and their roots are around Ryoto, Jilin, and Korea. Why is such an old burial mound in such a place? It is said that Kyushu was the descendant of Mr. Azumi, who was proud of his power in ancient times in Fukuoka, who pioneered Azumino here. Mr. Azumi is a seaman with excellent shipping, and since he is compared to the royal family of the king of Na gold seal, which is famous for the gold seal of King of Na gold seal, it can be seen that there was trade with the continent. It is said that Mr. Azumi, who was a seaman, lost the battle with the Yamato court and settled in the land of Azumino around the 6th century AD. I see, that's why there is an ancient burial mound in the mountains where the culture of the continent remains. In addition, although it is the Wei Stone Demon Eight-faced Great, it seems that it was called the Wei-Stone Demon as another name. It is said that the Great King of Yame is "Yame no Ookimi" in the reading of the Wago language, and Tsukushi (Kumamoto Prefecture) is related to Mr. Iwai, a powerful family who ruled Yame. Mr. Iwai also lost the battle with the Yamato court due to the Iwai Rebellion in the 6th century. The story goes awry, but it's not the only one. Takemikazuchi, who is famous for his national inheritance, is also defeated by Takemikazuchi, the messenger of the Yamato court, and Shinshu escapes to the land of Suwa. According to one theory, the founder (Takeminakata) has changed to "Munakata" by Munakata, a powerful family in Kyushu. If these theories are correct, is it just a coincidence that the three tribes of Kyushu fled to this land? According to one theory, it is said that jade produced in this area is the target, but could the tribes who lost the war freely choose a settlement place? Even if they were free to choose, would the sea people choose mountains over the sea? I suspect that this area was an undeveloped frontier, treated like a penal colony at the time. However, that would put the hostile tribes together, and there is a possibility of collusion and rebellion. so! It's a hypothesis full of holes. It seems that this burial mound was built in the latter half of the 6th century. As you can see in the photo, it is certainly a fine dolmen. I couldn't put it inside, but when I looked into it ... I wish the bats were living there.

From Shofukuji, follow the sidewalk in the mountains. Be careful as it is slippery if the ground is wet. Many stone Buddhas are lined up along the way. The cave is majestic and very powerful. You can't put it inside, but it's enough from the outside. There is also a huge stone that seems to be broken with a span in the vicinity, and it makes me feel that the giant, Hachimen Daiou, was really there. It's a wonderful historic site, but it's a waste of things that are a little confusing. It is an old burial mound that stands quietly in the mountains.
