雲石 / Unseki

雲石(位於八雲町)如同其名是個形狀像雲的岩石。在1529年，阿伊努酋長與和人（也稱為大和民族）之間發生了一場戰爭。根據傳說，當處於劣勢的和人逃到岩石的陰影處後，一塊烏雲從岩石中飄出，岩石整片變暗，被此驚嚇到的阿伊努人便逃走了。有些岩石上有空洞，也有空洞的型狀像北海道。

Unseki (Yakumo Town) is a strange-shaped rock which reminds one of clouds in the sky. Un stands for cloud, and seki stands for stone. In 1529, a commander of the Ainu (aboriginal people of Hokkaido) fought with the Wajin (the Yamato race,who are ancient native people of Honshu.) An Ainu myth tells that the fighting strength of the Wajin was inferior to the Ainu’s, and the Wajin hid behind this rock. Black clouds came out from the rock and covered the sky, and the Ainu people fled. This rock has interesting holes, with one of them being peculiarly similar to the shape of Hokkaido.
