Tobikoeishi

A place in the middle of a stream that flows through the skirts of Mt. Matsuchi where two rocks jut out so that one can jump across to get to the other side. It is called “the Ancient Crossing Point” and the travelers back in the ancient days used to hop over the river from these rocks to get to Yamatonokuni from Kinokuni, and vice versa.

Shirotaeni Nioumatsuchino Yamagawani Wagaumanazumu Iekourashimo

Mt, Matsuchiyama is shining bright like a white cloth. When I try to cross the river that flows through Mt. Matsuchiyama, my horse stops and hesitates to cross the river. My family must be missing me.
