On October the 30th 2016, I climbed Mt. Mizuiyama（水井山）. It is on the north line of Mt. Hieizan（比叡山）, accompanied with Mt. Daibisan（大尾山） and Mt. Yokotakayama（横高山）.
At the foot of mountains there is Sanzenin（三千院）, originated by the famous Buddhist and the founder of Enryakuji（延暦寺）, Saicho（最澄）. On the downside of roof, the coming of Amida Buddha with twenty-five Bodhisattva to welcome the spirits of the dead is drawn.
This is a place where a samurai Naozane Kumagai（熊谷直実）, intended to beat the opponent of his master Honen（法然）, the founder of Jodoshu School（浄土宗）, by a hatchet. He was persuaded not to do this and threw away the hatchet to this bush.
This is a tomb of the emperors Gotoba（後鳥羽天皇）and Juntoku（順徳天皇）. Gotoba is known to have fought with Kamakura Shogunate in the medieval age. Juntoku was his son. Both of them were exiled after the fight Jokyu-no-ran（承久の乱）.
