Description

Very beautiful located in a forest close to the cave. Very good bolted, but not every hold is clean, so bring a brush. Climbing there is great. The rock is solid and has perfect limestone.

Access issues inherited from Japan

Some spots have access issues as many spots near crowded places elsewhere. So please ensure you follow the recommendations of local climbers and behave responsibly.

Approach

Even though it is close to the Senbutsu Stalactite Cave it is not that easy to find. The way is a little bit hidden and overgrown and the rock is not visible from the cave. Google says that there is public transport to the cave only on weekends, but I am not sure about that, as we saw a bus on Wednesday as well. At the entrance house of Senbutu Stalactiye Cave walk down the stairs to the gentleman toilet and you find a small barrier which you pass. Walk down a path for about two minutes. Just before you reach a curve you see a overgrown and very small path on your right hand side. If you reach a old wooden bridge you are to far. Walk up this small path crossing uphill and stay on this path untill you reach some ropes along the steep sections. This ropes leads you to the rock. It takes about 10 min from the cave.

Ethic inherited from Japan

There`s not a lot of information about climbing in Japan in English. Much of the information is only available in Japanese - or of course here on theCrag!

The Japan Free Climbing Association (http://freeclimb.jp/seibi/seibi.htm) is a good point of contact and there is a set of 5 guidebooks (all in Japanese) and an alpine guide book in English available covering all of Japan and its thousands of sport and trad routes and boulders.
