Some pics I took in July of the stone carvings on Takatori mountain, north of Yokosuka Naval Base. Takatori is a large hill/small mountain not too far from Oppama Station on the Keikyu line. At the top is a wide open area/park that is fairly easy to get to. But there is another path to the top...This one takes you past all the carvings...
...that ???? have put into the shear rock walls that appear to have been the result of extensive mining of the top of the mountain for its massive too-rough-to-be-marble-but-too-hard-to-be-sandstone. This is a nice little hike, sometimes involving pulling yourself up the hill using ropes and chains (sounds kinky ;-)...
...to see the Buddha rocks,
but it is worth it because...
BUDDHA ROCKS!!!
Here's another pic to show how big this thing is....
More pics to come...
