Thanks for pointing this out (and sorry for not seeing your comment earlier — as you can see, this blog is often ignored for long periods). I’ve replaced the link with the correct one (http://www.sam.hi-ho.ne.jp/uji-kimura/19kenkou.pdf) which has accurate information on the area.

I had both links saved in my bookmarks, and when migrating the blog to a new server a few months ago, all the original links were lost and I had to add them back; evidently I added the wrong one!

Thanks again for your feedback! =)

Having just read the Hōjōki for the first time, I was please to find your blog. The travel directions you wrote seem adequate for finding the location, but the link you posted for more detailed directions, I think, creates needless confusion. I think you will find that the Japanese site you link to provides a map, descriptions, and photos of Mt. Hino in Fukui Ken (Latitude 35°51’33.03″N, Longitude 136°12’24.75″E). Since your blog page is linked to from the Wikipedia article on Kamo no Chōme, I suspect I’m not the first person who did a lot of head scratching while trying to resolve the information in that site with the description you provide.

I couldn’t find a better internet site to replace the link with, but perhaps you might consider posting a placemark in the Google Earth Community and linking to that.
