Rusugaiwa (Rusu Rock) — Attraction in Fujikawaguchiko

絶景‼️(*´・ω-)b産ヶ崎とならぶ絶景スポット 悲しい伝説のある場所です

昔、甲州の河口湖畔の大石村に大火が出て多くの家々が燃えた。火事の後、復旧工事のためたくさんの大工が村にやって来た。

その大工の中に、河口湖の向こうの小海村の幸右衛門（こうえもん）という大工もいた。何ヶ月も大石村にとどまるうちに、幸右衛門と大石村の娘おるすは愛し合うようになっていた。だが、幸右衛門には親の決めたいいなずけが小海村にいたのだった。

そして工事が終り、幸右衛門が小海村へ帰る日となった。おるすは幸右衛門に「お嫁にしてよ」と言ったが、幸右衛門は「百晩欠かさずオレの所へ通って来たら、夫婦になってやる」と、適当な返事をして小海村へ帰って行った。

おるすは幸右衛門の言葉を信じ、それから毎晩たらい舟に乗り河口湖を渡った。おるすは、幸右衛門が灯す「勝山明神の灯」を頼りに、雨が降っても風が吹いても欠かさず通い続けた。おるすのあまりの執念に、幸右衛門はそのうちうとましくなってきた。

そしてとうとう百日目の晩になった。その晩は嵐で、おるすは勝山明神の灯だけを頼りに、たらい舟をこいでいた。だが幸右衛門は「この嵐じゃまさか今夜は来ないだろう」と考え、自らの手で灯を消してしまった。

目印を失ったおるすのたらい舟は、湖の中程で立ち往生し、やがて岩にぶつかり沈んでしまった。そしておるすはそのまま水死してしまった。翌朝、おるすの死を知った幸右衛門は、その夜、闇に紛れてどこへともなく姿を消してしまった。

そのおるすの舟がぶつかった岩を「るすが岩」と言うようになった。

Long ago, a large fire broke out in Oishi village of Koshu lake, and many houses burned. After the fire, a lot of carpenters came to the village due to restoration work.

In the carpentry there was also a carpenter called Koyemon in Komi village beyond Lake Kawaguchi. While staying in Oishi village for many months, Yukonemon and Otishi village daughter Otaru had come to love each other. However, in Yukonemon, there was a good nomel that my parents decided in Komi village.

And the construction ended, it was the day when Yukonemon returned to Komi village. Otosu said to Yukonemon, "Please dress me up", but Yukonemon answers "I will not miss one hundred night and if I come to my place, I will become a couple" He went back to Komi village.

He believed the words of Yukonemon, then caught a boat every night and crossed Lake Kawaguchi. Oil was dependent on "Katsuyama Myojin no Tame" that Yukonemon lights, continuing passively without fail despite rain and wind blowing. To the obsession of too much obsession, Yukonemon became obscurity of that.

And at last it became a hundredth day evening. That storm was a storm, and Otorun came around the tatami boat, relying only on the Katsuyama Myojin light. But Yukonemon thought, "This storm will not come tonight," he took out the light with his own hands.

The boat that lost the landmark was stuck in the middle of the lake and eventually struck the rock and sunk. And the bird went to the water as it was. In the next morning, Konemon, who knew the death of the lion, was disappeared anywhere, being unaware of the dark that night.

The rock that the barge of the lady hit was called "Risukaze".

30/11/2024 - scenic and beautiful view. We walk from oishi park to rusugaiwa for almost 20 mins (i think). So many tourist at oishi park so we decided to go here instead and it is the best decision ever! Not many people and the views are incredible. Dare to say the best view in kawaguchiko! Note that if u r taking the bus like me, theres no direct bus here so u hv to walk from oishi park. I saw a lot of people cycle here too but it is quite far to cycle if u stay near the swan boat area at kawaguchiko lake. Theres a lot of car parked near the roadside to take photos here. Definitely the best place to come especially during...

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN CROSSING THE BUSY STREET. DO NOT RISK YOUR LIFE FOR A PICTURE. That said, it is a beautiful place right on the bank of the lake. The light in the foreground is brightest and illuminates the leaves best in the afternoon versus the morning. Some of the best pictures can be had by not going onto the street at all, instead, by going up a few meters onto the hill. That’s where I got these 4 pictures on...
