Musashi Miyamoto Victory Monument
Musashi Miyamoto is said to be the greatest swordsman of the early Edo Period (1603-1867), who remained undefeated throughout his life. He confidently stated at only 13 years old, "I can defeat anyone, no matter the opponent." It is said that Musashi defeated famous samurai Kihei Arima here at Kanakura Bridge with just a single swing of his sword. This monument commemorates Musashi Miyamoto and is engraved with a passage of "Gorinsho Jobun" (The Book of Five Rings), an ancient text he wrote on Japanese kenjutsu and other martial arts.

The shop also provides different types of seasonal sweets and even has an eat-in space for visitors.
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!
