Close to stone marker 120 the place of the “Futatsu Torii”, the two
gates, let’s have a break with an aspirating mind to reach Koyasan. In the
environment of the stone marker 115 two wooden gates and a rock are found. This
rock has a legend which tells us about a white snake living under the rock and
if you see the snake you will be blessed with happiness. From the stone marker
113 you can see the lawn of the Kii Highlands Country Club. |
