Autumn tints of Takinogawa, Oji

The 8th Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, visited this area in 1720-21 and was pleased to find that the Oji Gongen Shrine and the name of the Otonashi River originated in his home province, Kishu. As a result he ordered the planting of Yoshino cherry trees at Mt. Asuka and maple trees along Takinogawa to provide autumn colours. Consequently, the Oji area became a popular tourist spot for people from Edo.

Autumn tints of Takinogawa, Oji

Oji Station is built over Shakujii River. In this area the river is called Otonashi River. The reason for this name is as follows. Toyoshima Gonnokami Kiyomitsu, a medieval feudal lord, hailed from Kishu (present-day Wakayama Prefecture) and thus established a shrine to Jakuichi Ouji Gongen (Kumano Gongen) that later became Oji Gongen. Consequently, this area was called Oji, and the river was named after the Otonashi River of Kishu. Upstream on the Otonashi River, Takinogawa Village gained fame for its autumn colours.

The Juniso Falls

Kumano Falls and Juniso Pond, located near Kumano Shinto Shrine (present day Chuo Park, Shinjuku Ward), were sightseeing spots since the Edo Period. The deity of Kumano Shinto Shrine had been transferred to the shrine from Kishu (present-day Wakayama Prefecture). Even during the Meiji Period these places were popular because they made an easy day trip from the city. It is said that many people used to bathe here in summer. The waterfall disappeared due to the construction of a water filtration plant in 1893, and the pond was eventually filled in. At present, people enjoy the hot springs in concrete buildings.
