永昌寺トンネル

Visited in August 2020. A tunnel of bare earth that is said to be a Kannon carving that runs directly under Eiji Temple of the Soto sect. It is connected to the Kakigidai No. 2 Tunnel-Ura Shirakawa's Don Don-No. 1 Tunnel. However, there was a landslide due to the heavy rain of 1025 last year, and this tunnel is completely closed (pedestrian). Fences are not installed, so if you want to enter it, you can put it in, but follow the instructions. Is it exciting in the Tibanian? This is also a hiking area, and I hope that you will be able to go through it again.

Hand-carved tunnel. Boso is often seen because the soil is soft. It seems that the Kominato Railway is also cut through. In the old days, it seems that it was made as a shortcut to the neighboring village. As of November 2020, there is a closed sign, but the left side of the forked road is closed and you can go to the right. When I went to see Eishoji Temple above, the monkey parents and children picked up the nuts and ate them.

A tunnel dug by hand. It features a "Kannon moat" that is shaped like a piece of shogi. It was dim and hesitated to set foot, but it seems that it is also used as a living road for local people. The tunnel in the fresh green looked like a "forest entrance".

It's full of hand digging feeling, there are still two tunnels ahead! There was Tsukizaki third forest road on the way, so I made two laps because I can return to the original (laugh) The entrance is right next to the entrance to Eishoji Temple!

* Completed road collapse construction due to typhoon in 2019. All lines have opened. Kannon digging tunnel in the Meiji era. It's cool in summer. Actually, this is not the end, and if you walk about 50m from the opposite exit of the tunnel, you will find the entrance guide to "Urashira River Don Don", which is one of the largest hand-dug waterway caves (river circumference) in Japan. The dong dong of Urashira River has a total length of 100 m or more and a height of about 8 to 10 m. Moreover, there is another huge tunnel of the same scale beyond that. It is the biggest mystery in the city and the power spot of Satoyama. → Please search the map with Don Don of Urashirakawa. There is also a hand-dug tunnel at the end of the Eishoji tunnel. Kakinokidai No. 1 and No. 2 tunnels continue to reach Mataka Temple, which is famous for "Nami no Ihachi". * March 2021, exploration of the back door of Ura Shirakawa. Enter the road next to the approach to Eishoji Temple, and get it on your right from the end of the curved mirror (around the break in the guardrail). If you walk along the original road, you will soon find the second dong dong water outlet. (You can go up to this point without getting wet.) If you go along the river to the left for a while, there is a place where you can get off from the bush to the river. (Be careful as it slips.) The second dong dong has an estimated caliber of about 5m. The water is clear and looks blue in the deep. If you walk a few hundred meters down the shallow water of the river, you will find the entrance to the Urashira River. Estimated caliber is about 8m. The flow is shallow and clean, but it is quite deep near the water inlet, so let's approach from the bush on the other side. It's a great place, but it may not be a place to go for sightseeing. Your feet get wet. But it's worth it. → Please search the map at the ruins of the Urashira River.

The unearthed Eishoji tunnel was completed in 1898. Length 142.0m Width 3.1m It is called "Kannon digging" because of its shape like a shogi piece ☖. About 10 minutes on foot from Kominato Tetsudo Tsukizaki Station. It is very pleasant to take a walk to Itabu Station via the Urashira River Don Don, Kakinokidai 1st and 2nd tunnels.

I was inadvertently pulled by the information board of the temple and passed the entrance ? It is suddenly dug on the side of the road. The shape of the shogi piece is to disperse the pressure of the entire mountain and prevent it from collapsing. There are dark spots around the center where the lighting does not reach, so if you are not good at it, you should bring a light. There is a down digging tunnel ahead, but the road is quite up and down. I thought Chiba was flat, but besides that, there are many valleys and many tunnels.

A good looking tunnel. An opening like a piece of shogi. There are many in Chiba, isn't it? Because of the easy-to-dig geology, there are many rivers around. That means that it can easily collapse. .. It will be a pass and sightseeing by luck.
