140516 Mt. Ooyama(大山1,252m) Otokozaka (男坂), Kanagawa-ken, Japan

Destination: Mt. Ooyama (1,252m), Kanagawa-ken

Date: May 16 (Fri), 2014

Transportation Access: Ofuna – Fujisawa (JR) – Sagamioono – Isehara (Odakyu) – Ooyama Cable Station (Bus)

Hiking Course: Ooyama Cable Station – Otokozaka – Shimosha – Mt. Ooyama – Miharashidai – Hinata Lodge – Hinatayakushi (Bus Stop) About 12 km, 5 hours

Since Ooyama is in Kanagawa prefecture, it is close to my house. So, I often climb this mountain, but in the past decade, I climbed only during summer and winter vacation.

So, climbing the mountain in May is rare opportunity for me. It was good esp. the soft green color of the leaves.

[The steps of the trail, 登山路の石階段、등산로의 돌계단]

[Flowers along the trail, 石階段の脇の花、돌 계단 옆의 꽃]

I took the most arthdox route: Bus-stop – Otokozaka – Shimosha – The Summit of Ooyama – Miharashi – Hinatayakushi Bus-stop.

I got off at Ooyama Cable Bus Stop at 8:53. After using the toilet there, I began walking the stone steps toward Ooyama Cable Station.

[Ooyama Cable Station, 大山ケーブル駅、오오 야마 케이블 역]

When I passed the station at 9:17, I saw the red cable car at the station. It must be “Tanzawa-go.”

Tanzawa is famous for its “tops” as a local product, and there were pictures of “tops” on the stone stairs.

Since it was a weekday, not many hikers walking. I like the color of leaves on the mountain in May.

I passed a building claiming “Oriental Fitness School.” I bet it promotes natural healing method by fasting. I experienced the effects of fasting this March in Korea. So, I believe it.

[]"Oriental Fitness School", 健康道場『神仙観』,건강 도장 "신선관"]

After passing this building, soon I came to the fork point of “Otokozaka” and “Onnazaka.”

[The shrine at the foot of Otokozaka, 男坂出発地点の神社、오토코자카 출발 지점의 신사]

I saw a gourp of young people with some leaders. I bet they were highschool students and their teachers.

[The high school students, 男坂の高校生たち、오토코자카 고등학생들]

Their pace of hiking was almost same as mine, so I saw the all the time, in the trail up to Shimosha.

[The upper part of Otokozaka, 男坂の上部付近、오토코자카의 상단 부근]

There is a memorial statue with unique shape on the top of Otokozaka. It is read as “Bankoku Chureitou” or “Universal monument to the faithful who died in battle.”

["Universal monument to the faithful"、万国忠霊塔,만국 충령탑]

Then there is a bit long steps to Shimosha Shrine. From the observation deck, you can see the Sagami Bay and even Enoshima Island, but that day, there was mist and I could not see it well.

[The last steps to "Shimosha", 下社への最後の階段、시모샤로 이어지는 마지막 계단]

In front of the shrine, there was a incense burner and they were burning some aromatic woods.

[Homa (ritual), 護摩、호마]

There was a wooden gate contributed by a religious group named “Ohana-ko” in Nihonbashi, Tokyo behind the shrine. All hikers must go through the gate in order to climb Mt. Ooyama.

[The entrance of the trail, 登山道入口、등산로 입구]

Behind the gate, there was an old steep stone stairs. It was the starting point to the summit of Ooyama from Shimosha Shrine.

After climbing the stone steps, there is a big twin huge Japanese cedars. They name the tree “Meoto Sugi” or “The Couple Cedars.”

["Meoto Sugi" 夫婦杉、부부 삼나무]

There were cute blue flowers which I saw for the first time.

[A wild flower, 野生花、야생화]

I arrived at Fujimidai (the place you can see Mt. Fuji) at 11:07, but it was cloudy and I could not see Mt. Fuji at all.

["Mitsuba-tsutsuji" or Rhododendron dilatatum, ミツバツツジ、미쯔바쯔쯔지]

I reached at the top of Ooyama at 11:36. I took my self portrate at my favorite tree and mark stone there. There were beautiful dandelions there.

There were a group of 4 male hikers on the top of the mountain. They are all 60s, my generation. They said they climbed mountains together several times a year. How nice.

I ate lunch at the table on the summit at around noon. Then I began descending the mountains, taking Hinatayakushi course.

[The guide at the entrance of descending trail, 下山路入口の里程標、하산로 입구의 이정표]

I arrived at Miharashida before 1 pm. It was a good pace. There was a warning signe against “Yamabiru” or land leech (Haemadipsa zeylanica japonica).

It suck blood from animals including human being. It will melt if sprinkled with salt. So, they prepare salt at the foot of the mountain.

There were flowers with pink or blue colors in front of Hinata Lodge.

A small bird was “taking bath” in the pool on the paved road.

I arrived at Hinatayakushi Bus Stop before 2 pm and took the bus to Ishehara there.

同行者：なし 昨年までは大徳大学で働いていたため、この時期は帰国することはなく、新緑の時期に大山に登るのは実に久しぶりである。

[I began walking, 大山登山開始、오오야마 등산 시작]

今回は、もっともオーソドックスなコースで、往路は男坂を登った。

[Inari Shrine, 山麓の稲荷神社、산기슭　이나리 신사]

伊勢原駅前から大山ケーブル行きのバスに乗車。終点の大山ケーブル駅バス停で降りたのは8:53。

バス停そばの公衆トイレを使ってから舗装道路を階段に向かって歩き始めた。

バス停はケーブル駅だが、ケーブル駅までは石の階段を15分以上歩く。ケーブル駅を右側に見て過ぎたのは9:17だった。

始発が9:00であるので、赤い車両の「たんざわ」号が出発したところだったのかもしれない。

階段には大山特産のコマの絵がはめこんである。ハイカーは平日のためさほど多くない。のんびりとした雰囲気で新緑が美しい。

大山ケーブル駅を過ぎてすぐに「健康道場・神仙観」という看板を掲げた建物がある。ここは私が帰国前に体験した断食道場なのかもしれない。

[]"Oriental Fitness School", 健康道場『神仙観』,건강 도장 "신선관"]

入り口の上にはOriental Fitness Schoolとあり、「病気は自分で治しましょう」とあるのでコンセプトは韓国の断食修道会と同じだと思われる。

[The fork point, 『男坂』と『女坂』の分岐点、"오토고자가"와 "온나자가"의 분기점]

この健康道場を過ぎるとすぐに男坂・女坂の分岐点だ。男坂の急階段の下の「追分社」と看板にある神社で休んでいると高校生の団体がやってきた。

[The steps of Otokozaka, 男坂出発地点の階段、오토코자카 출발 지점의 계단]

[The high school students, 男坂の高校生たち、오토코자카 고등학생들]

彼らは下社までの男坂コースを抜きつ抜かれつしてほぼ同じペースで歩いた。男坂は勾配のきつい階段が多い。

[The upper part of Otokozaka, 男坂の上部付近、오토코자카의 상단 부근]

男坂を登りきったところは「八大坊上屋敷跡」という跡地に出る。そこの一段と高い石垣の上には菊水をかたどった『万国忠霊塔』というものが建っている。

[Historic place of "Shrine Office", 八大坊上屋敷跡、"하치다이보 카미야시키" 터]

["Universal monument to the faithful"、万国忠霊塔,만국 충령탑]

時刻をみると9:53なので男坂を33分で登ったことになる。これはたいへん良いペースだ。

この先の女坂と合流する地点の先には見晴台へ迂回するコースがあるが、ここはたぶんがけ崩れのためと思われる通行止めとなっていた。

[At Shimosha Shrine, 下社にて、시모샤에서]

そして階段を上ると下社に出る。下社の展望台からは相模湾の海と江ノ島が見えるが、この日はやや霞がかかって、かろうじて江ノ島が見える程度だった。

下社の正面前にはゴマ木を炊く巨大な火鉢のようなものがあり、まきが燃えていた。

また、下社の隣には天満宮があり、第二次世界大戦中の学童疎開の像などもある。

下社の裏の登山口は、東京日本橋のお花講が寄贈した木製の門であり、そこをくぐると古びた急階段がある。ここを登りきると本格的な登山道である。

[The steep stone steps, 急な石階段、가파른 돌계단]

巨大な夫婦杉に着いたのは10:27でこのあたりの杉は巨木が多い。足元にははじめてみる青い花をつけた野草があった。

[A wild flower, 野生花、야생화]

富士見台には11:07に到着したが、この日は雲が多く、富士山は見えなかった。

[At "Fujimidai" 、富士見台にて、"후지미다이"에서]

["Mitsuba-tsutsuji" or Rhododendron dilatatum, ミツバツツジ、미쯔바쯔쯔지]

大山山頂の松の大木にある標石で自らのポートレートを撮ったのは11時36分だった。足元にはきれいなタンポポが目に付いた。

[Dandelions on the summit, 大山山頂のタンポポ、오오야마 정상의 민들레]

大山山頂の石標では私と同年輩の4人組がいて、一緒に認証写真を撮った。ときどき集まってはあちこちの山をいっしょに登っていると言う。

[At the top of Ooyama, 大山山頂にて、오오야마 정상에서]

山頂で持参した弁当を食べ、缶ビールを飲んでから日向薬師側の下山路を下山した。

日向山荘前にはピンクや水色の花が咲いていた。道路わきの畑にはねぎ坊主ができていて、道路の水溜りでは小鳥が水浴びをしていた。
