The Story of Unomi Sengen Shrine and the Gods At the summit of Eboshiyama sits Unomi Sengen Shrine. On clear days, it offers a superb vantage point with sweeping views of Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps. While most Sengen shrines across the country enshrine Konohanasakuya-hime (associated with Mt. Fuji), in the Izu Peninsula there are a few Sengen shrines—such as the one in Unomi, Matsuzaki Town, and the Ōmuroyama site of the Itō clan—that honor only her elder sister, Iwanaga-hime. In the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki myths, the sisters’ father, Ōyamakui no Kami, offered them to Ninigi-no-Mikoto, who descended from heaven. Because Iwanaga-hime was less beautiful than her sister, she was rejected. The character iwa (rock) in Iwanaga-hime symbolizes eternal life. By abandoning Iwanaga-hime, Ninigi-no-Mikoto and his descendants became destined to have limited lifespans. Iwanaga-hime, envious of her beautiful younger sister, left a legacy of local legends, including warnings that praising Mt. Fuji on Eboshiyama will bring misfortune or injury.

Origin of Benten Island and Its Promenade In ancient times it was called Old Island (also known as Kyodai Island), a small islet once reached from the shore by a bridge; land reclamation at the river mouth in 1967 connected it to the mainland. At the summit reached by climbing the ninety-nine stone steps stands Itsukushima Shrine (a branch of Miyajima in Aki, Hiroshima Prefecture), enshrining the deity Ichikishimahime (Ichikishimahime no Mikoto). The deity has long been venerated as a Buddhist deity and identified as Benzaiten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, so the islet has been affectionately known as Benten Island or Benten-san since ancient times. This Benten Island is home to a rare stand of ubamegashi (also called bame; family Fagaceae) in Japan, designated as a local cultural property. A roughly 200-meter promenade circles the islet, and visitors enjoy strolling while admiring the view of Suruga Bay.

Manpōzan Kiitchi-ji This temple belongs to the Kenchō-ji school of Rinzai Zen. It was founded in Shōan 3 (1301) by the eminent monk Issan Ichinei from the Yuan realm (China). At first it was called Kiitsu-an, later renamed Kiitchi-ji. The main hall was rebuilt in Kōka 5 (1848) under the master carpenter Ishida Hanbei, renowned for his work on shrines and temples. The temple treasures include a self-portrait of Master Issan, an original hand-written silk scroll, and two volumes of his recorded sayings. A graceful garden behind the main hall is admired as one of Izu’s representative landscaped gardens. The temple is also Temple No. 2 on the Izu Yokomichi Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage and Temple No. 80 on the Izu Eighty-Eight Sacred Sites.

Namako-kabe In Matsuzaki, Izu, many houses and storehouses built in a bygone era still feature namako-kabe. Namako-kabe is a traditional Japanese plastering style used on kura (storehouses) and similar buildings. Flat tiles are laid across the wall surface and the joints are filled with plaster shaped like a kamaboko (fishcake). The raised, rounded joints resemble a sea cucumber, or namako, which gives this style its name. Namako-kabe serves 1. insulation, moisture control, and insect prevention 2. protection against fire and theft and requires significant expense and labor to construct. The namako-kabe on this Kondo family house was built in the late Edo period, and the street lined with these walls is called Namako-kabe Street.

Koyasan Promenade This place, a treasure trove of stone Buddhas second only to Hozoin on Fukinoyama in Monno, Matsuzakicho, faces a mountain stream with sheer cliffs of strange rocks and is wrapped in a little-known atmosphere of tranquil silence. In the past, ascetic practitioners such as Kobo Daishi and Mongaku Shonin are said to have stayed here at training sites, and it was a sacred area of Shingon esoteric Buddhism. Stone towers inscribed with "Namu Amida Butsu", a Bishamonten stone statue flanked by two child attendants, and many other moss-covered stone Buddhas stand quietly here, offering peace to visitors.
