- quote
細川光尚 Hosokawa Mitsunao (1619 - 1650)

Mitsunao was born in 1619, and was the eldest son of Hosokawa Tadatoshi.
In 1637, he joined his father in the effort to subdue the Shimabara Rebellion, and fought with distinction.
Succeeding his father in 1641, he became daimyō of the Kumamoto Domain.
Mitsunao's suppression of the Abe family's revolt in 1642 is famous,
due to its fictionalization by Mori Ōgai.

桜井市 Sakurai city 初瀬 Hase

Once upon a time, a poor ascetic went to the Kannon Temple in Hase to pray.
He had a vision:
On his way down the hill he would meet a woman and take her as his wife.
And so it happened and they got married.
The woman was very beautiful and the local Lord tried many things to get her.
But with the protection of the Deities he could not.
His last try was a bout of Sumo wrestling.
The wife brough a thin old man of about 60 years, but in no time he won the bout.
When the Lord thought this strange, he followed the man and saw
the man had been the Nio warrior statue from 大山寺 the Temple Taisan-Ji.
The wife had been an incarnation of Takizo Kannon 瀧蔵観音 the Waterfall Kannon .

- quote
Yabakei Gorge, Oita Prefecture 耶馬渓

The Yabakei Gorge is an area of outstanding natural scenery and beauty located on Kyushu in the north of Oita Prefecture, south of the town of Nakatsu. Formed over 2.5 million years by the Yamakuni River cutting through volcanic lava and tuff, there are numerous cliffs, caves, and rock formations that are particularly popular in the fall when the leaves turn.
There are more than 60 scenic spots and Yabakei Gorge is part of Yaba-Hita-Hikosan Quasi National Park. There are hiking trails, walking paths, cycle routes, and hot springs in the area as well as cultural and historic sites.
At the northern end, known as Honyabakei, the river is spanned by the Yabakei Bridge, the longest arched stone bridge in Japan. It is 116 meters long, with eight arches, and was constructed in 1923.
Just a little down river is Ao no Domon, a hand carved tunnel through the cliffs. It was made famous in a novel by Kan Kikuchi, and with most legends, distinguishing fact from myth is difficult.
