Kyozukayama is said to have been Fujiwara Hidehira's sutra store in the old days. At the top of the mountain, there is a ``horseshoe stone'' where Minamoto no Yoshitsune is said to have left his hoof prints while riding his horse.
Also, the view from the top of Mt. Kyozuka is truly amazing, with the Ou Mountains in the distance and the Isawa Fan spreading out from there. There are quiet villages and countryside scattered there. The meandering Kitakami River flowing slowly at the foot of the mountain quietly conveys to us the changing seasons of Michinoku. The azaleas are in full bloom in late May, and in the summer you can enjoy hiking from the nearby Gassan Campsite.
