Hashiguiiwa Rocks

Bridge Hangyan is a tourist attraction located in Kushimoto-cho, Higashimurou-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, and is part of Yoshino-Kumano National Park. It consists of a row of about 850 meters long facing the southwest coast of Kii Oshima, and a total of about 40 rocks of different sizes are connected. Geological explanations believe that the Qiaohang rock is caused by the intrusion of quartz porphyry into the mudstone layer due to igneous activities. In the future, due to the differential effect of erosion, the softer mudstone is quickly eroded away, and the hard columnar quartz porphyry remains. . Inheritance of Japanese folklore, Kobo Master (Kongkai people) fights with demons and demons to see who can complete the stone bridge from Kushimoto to Kii Oshima before dawn. Master Kobo uses mana to quickly complete most of the bridge piers (Qiaohang) . Seeing that the ghost was invincible, he learned to croak. Master Hongfa also thought that the dawn was coming, and turned to leave, leaving only the bridge pier in the local area to this day. The beauty of the sunrise from the bridge Hangyan has been rated as one of the 100 Asahi Views in Japan; it has also been designated as a scenic spot and a natural monument by the Japanese government.
