Pilgrimages to Mt. Oyama became all the rage during the Edo period. At that time, it was common for people to visit the shrine in groups called ko, formed by ties of neighborhood, faith, work, etc., and people would go together with their companions. At times like these, people would stay overnight at the lodgings dotted along the approach to the shrine, and to be more specific, the priests were called doshi and were responsible for praying for the safety of the lecture, providing local guidance, and arranging lodging.Among the many such lodgings, the one located closest to the foot of the mountain is Shukubo Iwae, where we will be staying this time. It is said that it has been in business for generations since the Edo period, and the Tamagaki wall in front and the temple on the upper floor give you a sense of the charm that has continued from that time.Although the building is old, it is well maintained and reminds me of my relatives' house when I was a child. The room is an 8 tatami Japanese-style room where you can relax and relax.The rooms you will stay in are traditional Japanese-style rooms that have the feel of a lodging lodge, so you can spend a relaxing time. When I open the window, the air coming in from the mountains gives me a refreshing feeling that is different from the one in Tokyo. Once you're comfortable, it's time to take a bath.This bath is tiled and has a retro feel that makes you feel at ease...it's like a public bath.Moreover, this place is famous for its tofu dishes, and for dinner they really serve all the tofu!!Not only do they have handmade tofu where you can experience the quality of the ingredients, but Dengaku Tofu's miso is also exquisite. And the fried tofu is crispy and delicious...I want to order more of this!!In addition, the sashimi konjac, salt-grilled river fish, grilled pork on a ceramic plate, etc. were all very elaborate and delicious!It was the perfect accommodation to use as a base for visiting Oyama Afuri Shrine and to enjoy nature in your room. This must come again...!!Ohyama pilgrimages have continued since the EDO-Era. At that time, it was common to visit the mountain in a group;"KO", which was a common character like neighborhood/religious/business group, and people used to go together in large groups. The priests were called "Sendoshi" who prayed for the safety of the "KO", guided them to the site, and arranged their accommodations.Of the many such lodgings, Shokubo;Iwae is located at the foot of the mountain. Lodging business is continued from EDO-era, and the tamagaki and the temple on the upper floor give a sense of the atmosphere that has continued from that time. The building is well maintained despite its age.The rooms are traditional Japanese-style rooms with the atmosphere of a Shukubo, and when open the window, the fresh mountain air will relax you. The bath is tiled and full of retro atmosphere, which is relaxing.The dinner is famous for its tofu dishes, and it really is all about the tofu! The handmade Tofu is a natural choice for experiencing the quality of the ingredients, and the Dengaku-dofu is superb with miso. And the Fried tofu is crispy and delicious...I want to order more! Other dishes, such as Sashimi-Konnyaku/ grilled river fish/ grilled pork on a ceramic plate, were also very elaborate and delicious!This was a great place to stay, both as a base to visit the Ohyama Afuri Shrine and to enjoy the great outdoors in the comfort of our room.
