Yodo no Matsubara

Yodo no Matsubara, or Yodo Pine Grove, was once pastureland for horses. This small forest of Japanese black pines (Pinus thunbergii) was planted by a youth group in the Fukakubo area during the Taisho era (1912–1926), so many of the trees are over 100 years old. About 10,000 trees were planted at the time.

The trees act as a natural barrier against the strong coastal winds. The warm and cold currents that collide here create an ideal environment for a diversity of seasonal seaside and alpine flora, as well as other endemic plants. While the pine grove is a vivid green during the spring and summer, in winter it is sometimes blanketed with snow, creating a landscape reminiscent of ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

There are a number of noteworthy caves in the grove. One formerly housed a colony of bats, and an ascetic monk is said to have lived in another. According to local legend, the deep cavern known as Jigoku Ana (literally “Hell Hole”) extends all the way to the city of Miyako in Iwate Prefecture, nearly 150 kilometers to the south.

蝙蝠洞和仙人窟

蝙蝠洞由海浪經年累月衝擊侵蝕而成，位於通過淀之松原的步道附近，高約3公尺，寬約8公尺。雖然名為蝙蝠洞，但洞中蝙蝠早已離去。

從步道旁的一條陡峭小路向上攀登，能找到另一個可以俯瞰海岸的洞穴，洞內還有一座鳥居，這就是仙人窟。「仙人」指的是一位修驗道苦行僧，因為喜愛此處風景而長居於洞中。修驗道是一種融合了佛教和神道教教義的苦修傳統。此處洞外有四季花木更替，近處有清泉湧出，顯然是修驗道行僧的理想落腳點。
