YAMAP log: 7.9 km at Tezutsuyama, and who held the rear at Kanegasaki

A YAMAP activity log by the member ライズ (Rise), published at 20:50 on 10 November 2026 (UTC+8), is titled “結局誰が殿を務めたか問題” and filed at Tezutsuyama and Nakaikemi Wetland.

Recorded figures

  • Time: 3 hours 28 minutes
  • Distance: 7.9 km
  • Ascent / descent: 502 m / 502 m
  • Rest: 35 minutes

  • Listed clock times run from 10:20 to 13:48, matching the stated day total of 3 hours 28 minutes

The supplied text also labels an average pace and includes checkpoint-style time marks, but it does not give a clearly readable pace or named stops. Those details are not reconstructed here.

What the poster reports

Rise writes that the trip had been wanted for a long time. It seemed niche enough that no one would come along, and it finally happened. On Kanegasaki, the log says Toyotomi Hideyoshi is held to have served as the rear guard (殿), while also noting that other accounts exist. The poster adds that newly found materials could overturn the present view, and that considering it “for now” has its own interest.

Inside the Kanegasaki castle-ruins jurisdiction, the route is described as maintained. Beyond that jurisdiction, it is said to turn suddenly into a poor path and a maze. The contrast was sharp, and even a hike of about three and a half hours was, in the poster’s words, enough.

After the descent, a companion wanted to visit nearby Kehi Jingu. Rise writes that the shrine had been underestimated and that its solemn atmosphere was felt directly, while also saying spiritual matters were not understood. The day then continued down to Nagahama and the Taiga Drama Hall, and ended at a ramen shop recommended by a customer from Nagahama. No shop name is given. The poster calls the meal good and the day complete.
