[A base of worship at Mt. Ishizuchi, a series of giant rocks]

📍Darari Gongen, Ehime Prefecture This place was established as a base for worship of Mt. Ishizuchi, and you can use ladders and chains to climb up to the shrine at the top of the huge rock. The area is lined with huge rocks, creating a mystical atmosphere, but the top is flat and wide, and lush with vegetation, making it hard to believe it is on a rock. On a clear day with good weather, you can see Mt. Ishizuchi in the distance. This place, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery that changes with the seasons, is still cherished by the local people and continues to be loved as a base for worship of Mt. Ishizuchi. #0yentripJanuary2025
