Takeshima Travel Diary (2) (San'in Shimbun)

In spite of this unusual scenery behind Saigo, because disgusting obscene flowers scattered . Mount Jozan must be weeping and bloomed profusely at the other side of the town. This mountain is washed by the Yabi River, which trickles down gently and transports the famous Oki cedars downstream. Who could not be reminded of Rankyo Gorge at the sight of woodcutters riding on cedar rafts and traveling with the flow?
