The building on the right is Ogiya Restaurant. A garden is on the left side of Otonashi River. According to the restaurant brochure, the history of the establishment goes back to 1648 when Yazaemon started a simple tea stand on the street. That was the time of the 3rd Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu. Hayafune Takehiko is currently the 14th generation owner. The modern building is a five-story concrete structure, with Ogiya Restaurant on the second floor.

The caption reads Ogiya. The rakugo story The Fox of Oji was created to promote this establishment. The story goes that a man invites a girl, who is really a fox, to Ogiya for dinner. He gets her get drunk and tries to run away so that she has to pay the bill. A few days later the man goes to the fox with manju (sweet buns) to apologize. She replies, These manju could be made of horse dung, which is the punch line.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Kajima Seibei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐13‐0]

Oji was a considerable distance from Edo, but Mt. Asuka and the Takinogawa River gained fame for their cherry blossoms and autumn colours, respectively, and Oji Inari Shrine attracted more and more worshippers. Consequently, many teahouses and restaurants were built along the 450 m approach to the shrine at the foot of Mt. Asuka. Ogiya, with a garden on the other side of the river, and Ebiya were particularly well-known.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐35‐0]

The restaurant Ogiya in Oji during the early Meiji era. Opened during the Kanei years of 1789-1801, it stands at the shore of the Otonashi River (Shaukujii River) and is the head of the Kanto Inari. It was a popular restaurant among people visiting Oji Inari, a famous spot during the Edo Era known in the Rakugo Fox of Oji story. The building to the fore does not have a third floor, so this picture must have been taken before the reconstruction.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:F.
