By the way, do I have a smartphone? The location was easily found by GPS, but this rocky mountain is not shown on the aeronautical chart and is a thick green forest. When I switch to the contour screen, it seems to be a doughnut-shaped topography like the outer rim of a volcano. It's less than a few hundred meters around, so it feels like it was made by humans rather than natural terrain. This mountain is isolated from the hiking trails that crisscross the Kamakura mountains. Before I knew it, I wasn't lost, but I was walking along the outer rim of Mt. The slope was steep and rocky all along. It's like an impregnable castle wall.
After leaving the forest without difficulty and arriving at my house, I projected today's location on the large screen of my desktop PC. When I looked all over with the largest magnified screen provided by Google Maps, I found a straight line like the roof of a house in a slight gap between the evergreen trees. The land surrounded by the somma is probably about 330 square yards. If a small house is surrounded by tall trees, it will probably look like a forest like that aerial photograph. I don't have a hobby of obsessing over other people's dwellings, but if there's a house in that rock that looks like a castle wall, and there's no gate after going around it, I wonder what kind of land it is and what that straight line is. I couldn't help it. How to get over that rock? Drones are also impossible because of the trees. There must be a trail leading into it somewhere. Switching the aeronautical chart again to the map revealed a narrow channel running into the forest. Come to think of it, when I walked today, I felt like I crossed over, but I think I just jumped over it, not enough to hinder my walking. I had no other clues, so I decided to go check it out tomorrow and turned off my PC.

The stream seems to continue from Mt. Kinubari, but the amount of water is very small. I think it's probably a path for rainwater. The important thing is how the flow flows into the somma. If I follow yesterday's route, there is certainly that flow. Moreover, it flows into a hand-dug hole different from the one pierced by time. Furthermore, I didn't notice it at all, but there seems to be a cave covered with thick ivy beside it. Putting on the work gloves I brought and pulling the ivy away,cave was so tall that a person could stand, and it was so deep that I couldn't see the back. There are a lot of viper around here, so I set my smartphone to flashlight mode and illuminate it while being careful.As expected. After all, this castle wall is a castle wall. There is a place in the back of the cave that seems to have been covered with wood. It must be the entrance to the castle walls. However, it is impossible to capture this guard alone. The person who is coming now is Mr. Hara, who recently retired. Mr. Hara should be interested in such mysteries. I was lucky enough to be at home. Observe my surroundings again until he arrive. The dark tower seems to be a suitable habitat for wild animals, and there are some recent droppings here and there, but humans don't seem to have noticed, and there are no artificial objects other than the blocked wood.
About 30 minutes later, Mr. Hara arrived with a large flashlight and a sickle.
"Well, I live quite close, but I didn't notice this cave."
"That's right, it was just like a wall of ivy."
"But I thought this place was just a hill, but it looks like a castle wall. I'm curious about the inside, so let's get started."
The wood was easily removed. However, there is a pile of large stones piled up there.We can see inside through the gap, but what we can see is tall weeds.
"Well, We have to move them one by one."
We chose a thicker piece of wood from earlier, and when we broke down the top stone with two people, we ware able to create a space where we could crawl over.
"It's an amazing view"
"I never imagined..."
The somma-like mountains are certainly donut-shaped, and the trees that have grown taller than the mountains are scattered, forming a shape like an all-weather domed stadium. The space is bright because the sunshine filtering through the foliage firmly enters through the gaps. As expected, the land of about 330 square yards has a main house, a barn and a pond. When was the cave sealed? There is nothing modern things about them left as they are. The stream from earlier was pouring into the pond, and although it was covered with fallen leaves, the water had not dried up. As I approached the main house, I became convinced that it was the tea room CHASHITSU. Flat stepping stones at the grassy feet lead to the main house, leading to the small poach NIJIRIGUCHI typical of teahouses.
"Hey, look at this"
"Is there any fruit？"
"Peach"
Fruit trees are rare in tea gardens, but they are suitable for Kamakura and were liked to be planted until housing development progressed.
“The person who carved out such a space to create a space for tea must have been quite a stylish person SUKISHA. Vessels, hangings, incense, and rips… put everything he liked into an impregnable cocoon. Every day he's immersed in his thoughts..."
"It's truly a paradise. It can't be helped, pile up that stone again and close it and go home."
