    Hiking

    Beneath a massive rock face in Komagabayashi Forest is an enormous boulder known as "lwayataishido". In the rock there is a rather spacious cave where Kobo-Daishi, the propagator of Buddhism in Japan, is said to have practiced mandala yoga to improve his memory. Kobo-Daishi is worshipped in the background of the cave.
