Things to Experience in the Mount Oyama Area
Here are some of the famous spots and highlights you can experience when visiting Mount Oyama.
Oyama Afuri Shrine (Lower Shrine)
Located halfway up Mount Oyama, this prestigious shrine boasts a long history. From the shrine grounds, a panoramic view overlooking Sagami Bay and Enoshima unfolds, and it is also listed in the "Michelin Green Guide Japan." You can also experience drawing the famous Oyama spring water from the sacred spring and take a break at a cafe with a magnificent view.
Afuriyama Oyama-dera Temple
Said to have been founded in the Nara period and affectionately known as "Oyama no Ofudo-san," this is one of the Three Great Fudo Temples of the Kanto region. In addition to enshrining the main image, the "Iron Fudo Myo-o Statue," which is designated as a National Important Cultural Property, a stunning tunnel of autumn foliage spreads along the stone steps in autumn. The experience of "Kawarake-nage," throwing unglazed pottery plates to ward off bad luck, is also popular.
Koma Sando (Koma Approach)
A retro approach lined with charming shops along the stairs leading from the bus stop to the Oyama Cable Station. Restaurants offering famous Oyama tofu dishes and Oyama manju (sweet buns), as well as souvenir shops selling the traditional craft "Oyama Koma" (spinning tops), line the street. Tiles painted with top designs are embedded in the stair landings, making it fun to look for them while strolling.
Hinata Yakushi (Hojobo)
Said to have been founded in the Nara period, this famous temple is one of Japan's Three Great Yakushi Temples and features an imposing thatched-roof main hall (Yakushido). Visitors can view numerous precious wooden Buddhist statues designated as National Important Cultural Properties. In autumn, vivid red spider lilies bloom across the approach and surrounding satoyama hills, allowing you to fully enjoy a walk filled with seasonal nature and historical atmosphere.
