A mysterious rock here at Teninkyo.

It was dry the last time I saw it, but its moisture had returned. The abandoned hotel behind where you stand to view it is gone. It's a bare landscape, but better than before.

Opposite this is the ruined 天人閣. The 涙岩 sign had also decayed and was lying on the road. With an air of abandonment hanging over the place, “涙岩” feels lonely.

At first glance it looks like a concrete wall, but it's a smooth monolith. You can view it from across the Chubetsu River.

You can see it right in front of you from 天人閣's open-air bath.
