Aomori prefecture Tsugaru area tourist information site
JAPANESEIf you drive about 20 minutes toward the valley running alongside Owani's Hayaseno Dam lake you'll find a red torii gate marking the entrance to the Ishi no To hiking trail. After a 45 minute climb from there, you'll reach a 24m tall, 74m around boulder called Ishi no To, the tower of stone, in a national forest reserve on the border with Akita prefecture. The sight is so overwhelming that in the Tsugaru region of Aomori they say "You can’t talk big until you've seen Ishi no To." It's also long been a spot of deep spiritual faith, called "God descended from the heavens."
