Okayama The Oyama-do in Manzan City, Maniwa City, begins at Oyama Shinmon. It is about 9km from the village of Gohara and Ensuke to the Yokomakura plateau at Tottori through Hatogara and Jizo Kawakami. The walking path is almost flat and not very difficult. I would like to add a quiz to the commentary at the point, and look back on the situation at that time.
