Sekibokka’s base is located at the foot of a mountain commonly called “Turtle Mountain”. It is not a majestic mountain, but a satoyama where people are close to each other. It is a small mountain with vegetation consisting mainly of red pine and konara oak. It may not look like anything special at first glance, but it is a complex of ruins from the Old Stone Age to the Middle Ages, and many stone tools and earthenware still lie in peace. The name “Turtle Mountain” is a common name, and is derived from the fact that it looks like a turtle lying down when seen from a distance. I would like to take a “turtle-like” picture someday, as the image does not seem to capture the image at all. Incidentally, the official name of the mountain is Mount Kawashima, but I personally prefer the name “Turtle Mountain” because I am familiar with it from my childhood. So I will probably continue to push for that one in the future.
