The song "Omiya pine tree" named after this novel and the song that begins with "Walking on the coast of Atami..." became one and spread explosively, and the main character "Kan'ichi and Omiya" became a presence that captured the hearts of the people as if he were a real person.

Hashiriyu The "Hashiriyu" facing the sea of Sagami is a rare side-hole type hot spring in Japan, and is one of the three major ancient springs in Japan. It was discovered about 1,300 years ago, and was named "Hashiriyu" because of the way the hot water gushed out from the mountains and ran down to the coast as if it were flying. As Minamoto no Sanetomo sang, "The early arrival of the hot spring in the south of Izu no Kuniyama is a sign of the gods," before the Meiji era, it was worshipped as a sacred hot spring at Izuyama Shrine. The 5-meter-deep cave still gushes out 170 liters of 70-degree hot water per minute, and the source is a mysterious sight.

It is said that if you go around the trunk, the lifespan will be extended by one year, and many worshippers visit to pray for longevity, healing of illness, and health in order to appreciate the vitality of this tree. It is also said that people who have wishes will be able to make their wishes if they go around without telling anyone what they think. It is lit up at night, and you can enjoy each expression in the morning, noon, and night. The annual festival is held on July 14~16 every year.
