石岡市の難読地名、「くるまざく」のバス停。
この地名は、約1200年前に竜宮の王から授けられたという、常陸国分寺の雄鐘と雌鐘を運んだ輿車が作られた場所に由来する。
その伝説の鐘も、今は失われて久しく、名前だけが遙か昔の物語を残している。
Bus stop in Kurumazaku, an obfuscated place name in Ishioka City.
The name of this place derives from the location where the palanquin that carried the male and female bells of Hitachi Kokubunji Temple, which were given by the king of Ryugu about 1,200 years ago, was built.
The legendary bell has long since been lost, and only its name retains the tale of long ago.
