The Kintaro Asobi-ishi is a pair of rocks located in Yagurasawa, Minami-Ashigara City, Kanagawa Pref. The smaller one is called “Kabuto-iwa (feudal helmet rock)” and the larger one is “Taiko-iwa (drum rock).” Both rocks were the garden stones placed in the residence of a rich man called Shiman-chojya. Kintaro is said to have been brought up in this residence and played as jumping up and down these rocks. The legend has it that Kintaro was such a strong boy that he could easily lift up these rocks and throw a bear in Sumo wrestling. It is said that he often enjoyed Sumo wrestling with mountain animals around these rocks, calling “Hakkeyoi! Nokotta!” Near these rocks remains a stone called “Koshikake-ishi (sitting stone),” on which his mother Yaegiri sat and waited for her son, being worried about his late return. Your imagination will be sparked in front of these legendary rocks.
