◆ Article creation: ASOBISIA(Asobicia)
A trio of close friends who love the outdoors. Normally, he struggles as a Japanese office worker and faces the turbulent waves of society. In October 2020, he formed ASOBISIA after climbing a mountain one day, and opened Instagram and YouTube. On Instagram, his SUP photo in Miyagawa ranked first in the 2020 "Likes" ranking for Mie Tourism. This is a fledgling and active group.
"Kumano is a great place. Bears are great!" This"100Ayan Forest"was named with the hope that the entire KumanoCity would be filled with voices saying "Kumano is great!"...You too will be fascinated by the charm of Kumano andget lost in the "100Ayan Forest"...!!
Well, a new adventure begins now! !
Kizuro Village
Let's start with Kizuro Village, an unexplored area within an unexplored area located in Kiwa-cho, Kumano KumanoCity, Mie Prefecture!
We want you to step on a mountain path with a ``fault that dates back tens of millions of years'' and enjoy the insane view that can only be seen here...!!It's a paradise with a spectacular view where you can even see a sea of clouds, and it's a power spot that is sure to attract even aliens!It is said to be a perfect spot to look for Tsuchinoko and Yamata no Orochi... (If you come across one, please do not capture or subdue it.)
◆ Access details to the trailhead
If you aim for the Shimazu Tourism Association, you will find the trailhead (with a sign). There is a riverbed right next to it, and you can park your car there.

0597-89-0100
Approximately 40 minutes by car from KumanoCity Station
There aren't many signboards to guide you, but the first part of the climb is a relatively gentle straight road and is easy to follow. (Instead, there are many unique signboards, which is interesting lol)
Along the way, there was a signboard that read, ``Below your feet is a fault that crosses 54 million years of time and space.'' It was a turning point between left and right, 16 million years ago←/→70 million years ago. However, there is a point, so we move in the direction that the arrow points from 16 million years ago. For those aiming to excavate fossils, head in the direction of 70 million years ago!
As you go deeper, you will come across a path filled with vigorous fern plants. There are small thorns on the stems, so it's a little prickly. If you don't like tingling, we recommend wearing long pants!
As you approach the photo spot, a ``silver pole'' will appear, and after you cross a few, you will see pink tape wrapped around a tree, so once you get this far, the spectacular view you are aiming for is just a stone's throw away!
What I don't know is how to walk on an easy path, but on a difficult path!
by Naruto Uzumaki (from NARUTO Shippuden)
This time, I did some SUP on the river (Kitayama River) that flows around the Kizuro village!Happy Ito (dark blue clothes on the left) floating? ? The clarity of the river is so amazing!! Despite the transparencyof the river, all three of us came home with a lot of sunburn (lol) Itwas a precious experience where we could feel the power overflowing from the Kizuro village even as we traveled along the river. It was an experience.
In an unexplored area far away from the human city, you will have the chance to meet creatures (friends) that you would not normally come into contact with up close.ASOBISIA is also increasing the number of co-stars with Tombi! lol
There is so much to learn from the senior nature play enthusiasts who live in unexplored areas!!

The land of Kizuro, the kite and I return home

ASOBISIA's favorite is the pebbles that are as beautiful as these gemstones laid out on the beach!The shiny pebbles that have been polished by the rough waves are called ``Mihama pebbles,'' and some people even collect them to use as accessories. Recommended as a souvenir or as a trump card for a water cutting competition! ! (lol)
