From here, you can get a full view of HAKOYAMA Mountain, RYUMONZAN Mountain(called as KISHU- FUJI) and KINOKAWA River.
In those days, as the name of Iwa(rock )-de(exposed) shows, there were quite many shapes of rocks popped out from the River.

Besides, in those days, lot’s of rafts that carrying woods came up and down the River, as a distinguished wood producing district(ex. YOSHINO, NARA) were up the River.
Ferrymen handled rafts with one bamboo pole, moving quickly from side to side on the rafts, jumping up in the air on the pole end to change the direction, then transferred the stream between KINOKAWA and KISHIGAWA, as at this point of GOTEN they merged.
