Horumon Yaki Udon Ichiriki
This small restaurant, seating just seven people, is well-known and often frequented by celebrities. The secret of the restaurant's popularity is its homemade miso sauce with a hint of garlic, which has been a mainstay since the establishment of the restaurant, and its hearty offal. The owner's skillful cooking on the griddle right in front of the counter seats is all the more appetizing!
Sugisaka Monument
This monument was erected to commemorate one of Emperor Go-Daigo's loyal samurai, Kojima Takanori's most tragic failures. Emperor Go-Daigo (1288-1339) was exiled to the remote Oki Islands after the failed coup d'etat attempt to overthrow the Kamakura Shogunate. While being transported, Kojima Takanori waited at Funasaka Pass to ambush the transportation unit and save Emperor Go-Daigo from being exiled. However, the Emperor did not pass through the Funasaka Pass but through the Sugisaka Pass at this very spot. When Takanori learned of this, he rushed to Sugisaka Pass, but he was too late and unable to save the Emperor.
