There is a mountain trail from Kibitsuhiko Shrine to Kibi Nakayama. A steep slope as it is. It has been maintained to some extent by the protection association, but the map is not very accurate. Only the main shrine Iwaza, Ryu Shrine, Meotoiwa, and Iwafune Kofun were seen. I got lost around Nakaike. There was a sound of boon and mosquitoes in my ears from beginning to end. The tea in the PET bottle was gone, and I gave up because there were several welcomes by the snake god. It should have come in the cold season. It is preserved as it is in ancient times, not like the Tsukiki Ruins and the Kumayama Ruins ...

Kibi no Nakayama is a satoyama located in Kibitsu, Kita-ku, Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture. Although the altitude is low at 175m, people have lived for a long time, such as the remains of an old burial mound, and it prospered as the center of Kibi's country. On March 9, 2021, I visited Kibitsuhiko Shrine on this day. From there, head to the Nakayama mountain trail in Kibi. First, I used the toilet at the entrance of the mountain trail. Explanation signboard. Here is a promenade called the Chinese Nature Trail ...

I took a walk between Kibitsu Shrine and Kibitsuhiko Shrine in some of Nakayama.

It is said that it was named because it was located in the center when it was called Kibi no Kuni. Kibi's country, which was blessed with rich nature, was thought to have the power to compete against the country of Yamato, and later, it was divided into Bizen, Bichu, bingo and mimasaka. At this time, Bizen and Bichu set the border in the form of dividing the "Kibi no Nakayama", which they had worshiped as Mt. Kanabi since ancient times. And Bizen and Bichu are the most ... for the country.

Some adventures.

Nakayama located between Kibitsuhiko Shrine and Kibitsu Shrine. Not only is it a gentle hiking course, but there are places where you can't move without a rope. Recommended destination where you can feel the old times, such as ancient tumulus and ruins

I climbed from the Kibitsuhiko Shrine side, but there is also a steep slope.

I started climbing from the Kibitsuhiko Shrine side. At first it's a gentle slope, but there are steep slopes along the way. The steepest was near Tenjuiwa! This is pretty dangerous. There is a rope, but I'm afraid of climbing and going down. Let's go with sneakers. The view from the top of Mt. Ryuo, which is a little higher from Motomiya Iwaza, was good. The return was a steep downhill, but I went down the shortest road to Kibitsuhiko Shrine.
