Since the Meiji era, many literary giants have lived in Atami, where they have written masterpieces.
Among them, the most famous is the novel "The golden demon（Konjiki Yasha）" by Koyo Ozaki, which was published intermittently in the "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "New Novels" for six years from the 30th year of Meiji 30.

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.

The "Kan'ichi and Omiya Statue" and "Omiya pine tree" are located along the national highway on the coast and are visited by many people as tourist photo spots.

Every year on January 17 (Kanichi Omiya, Crying Farewell Day), the "Ozaki Autumn Leaves Festival" is held at this place.
