Koza River Product Direct Sales Store Minna no Mise

A direct sales store established by local farmers in Koza-gawa Town. Located along Prefectural Road 38, it is a small direct sales store standing against the backdrop of the Koza River flowing through the southern part of the Kii Peninsula. With the motto "Safe, Secure, and Affordable," fresh vegetables harvested that morning are lined up, along with processed products like pickles and tsukudani, yuzu products, and traditional sweets. It’s reassuring to know the producers of each product.

Tokoji Temple

A Tendai sect temple located by the banks of the Yunotani River. The main deity, the seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai, is 3 meters tall and has accumulated hot spring deposits over many years, solidifying into stone. In the past, hot spring water gushed from its left chest, leading to the affectionate name "Yunomune Yakushi," which later evolved into "Yunomine."

Muryouji

A temple of the Rinzai sect, Tofukuji school, founded by the master Kokan. In the 6th year of Tenmei (1786), when the temple was severely damaged by a tsunami, the monk Gukai rebuilt it, and his friend, the painter Maruyama Okyo, painted the sliding door paintings for the main hall as a celebration of the reconstruction, which were delivered to the temple by his disciple Nagasawa Rosetsu. During his stay at this temple, Rosetsu also left behind many fusuma paintings, which is why Muryouji is also called "Rosetsu Temple."

Maruyama Park

It is located on a hill on the north side of Hashimoto Station, overlooking the city area of Hashimoto. It is also famous as a cherry blossom spot. In addition, the Ryōzan [Misasagiyama] burial mound in the garden is a 45m diameter circle with a 6m wide moat around it, and boasts the largest in Wakayama Prefecture.
