Wisteria blossoms on Nakasendo probably refers to the wisteria at Ushijima (present-day Ushijima in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture), but this is not certain. If so, however, this would be the Shingon Sect Rengein Temple grounds where wisterias, said to have been planted by Kobo Daishi (the founder of the Shingon Sect), still can be found today. The wisteria trees are 1,200 years old, and the plot is some 700 square meters in area. The trees were designated a National Natural Monument in 1928.

This area was formerly an island shaped like a turtle. It was later connected to the mainland and Kame-mura (Turtle Village) was established. The well dug there was called Kamenoi (Turtle Well). Sometime later, Kame-mura became confused with Kamenoi and the village came to be called Kameido-mura. It is said that during the Edo Period, it was called Kamedo-mura without the i sound. Due to its name, many people brought turtles here. Today, there are still many turtles in the pond, but most are imported species.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:A.
