[Winter trip to Nasu, Tochigi] Countless Jizo statues worshipped in a desolate landscape with the smell of sulfur hanging over the air

📍Satsusho-seki Yumoto, Nasumachi, Nasugun, Tochigi Prefecture 《Access》 Bus stop Nasu Yumoto Onsen/About 15 minutes walk from Nasumachi, Tochigi Prefecture Bus stop Nasu Yumoto Onsen/About 15 minutes walk from Kanto Expressway Bus stop Yumoto 2-chome/About 18 minutes walk from Kanto Expressway Open all day 🅿️Yes ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ ▶️A place with rumbling lava near Nasu Yumoto Onsen It is located above Shikanoyu Onsen ▶️It is said that this name was given because people in the past believed it to be a "stone that kills living things". There is also a legend that a nine-tailed fox that transformed into a beautiful woman was defeated and turned into stone in this mystery zone. ▶️I parked my car in the free parking lot, climbed up from there, and reached the top in about 10 minutes and was able to see the "Satsusei Stone". ▶️In March 2022, it broke in half. The nine-tailed fox that had been sealed away was released. Posts like this spread, and it became a hot topic as to whether the breaking of the stone was a good omen or an omen of bad luck. ▶️There are many Jizo statues between the parking lot and the Satsusei Stone. It is said that the Jizo statues were erected as a memorial for the evil monk "Kyoden" who came to the Satsusei Stone and died. It is characteristic that the hands of each Jizo statue are made large to pray for peace! ! The number is still increasing... It's amazing that all of these Jizo statues were made by hand by just one person 😳😳😳 Their big hands are said to represent a sincere prayer for peace. #0yentravelJanuary2025 #Tochigi #Nasu #Nasutourism #Scenicplaces #Jizo
