folding screen rock

After seeing Tase Ohashi Bridge, which is one of the best views of Lake Tase, a multipurpose artificial lake in the middle of the Kitakami Mountains, there is Otase No. 3 Bridge about 200 meters upstream. Byobu Rock towers directly above this, halfway up Mt. Tomori. It is semi-circular with a circumference of approximately 100m and a height of 30m.
