Furuiwaya, Rock formations in Kumakogen, Japan.
The Furuiwaya site contains multiple conical rock formations including Senkutsu-iwa, Tsurigane-dake, and Katsura-dake, displaying natural geological patterns.
The sedimentary rock layers of Furuiwaya date back 45 million years, formed through continuous water erosion that created numerous cavities in the stone.
The name Furuiwaya translates to Ancient Rock House, and local stories connect the location to encounters between Buddhist monk Kobo-Daishi and the demon Amanojaku.
Located 15 minutes by car from Kumakogen Town Hall, the site provides paid parking facilities and includes a walking path for exploring the geological features.
The rock faces support native plant species such as iwamatsu spikemoss and multiple orchid varieties, including sekkoku and ucho-ran specimens.
