Hie Shrine was known as the Asahi Sannouguu during the Edo period due to the building being gifted with rays of brilliant sun shine from the east. It is positioned on high ground and the scenic location is described as seen below in the "Edo sosho, vol. 12-4 'Somei no Asahi Sannouguu'".

Fuji Sengen Shrine is a base for worshipping Mt. Fuji of that region. A Fujizuka (small mounds representing Mt. Fuji), of the many created in the Kanto region, is installed in the shrine, and is popular amongst the locals.

The worshipped deity of Fuji Sengen Shrine is Konohanasakuyahimenomikoto, known as the origin of the term "Sakura"*, who is also told to be intensely jealous, and makes rain fall when a beautiful person visits the shrine.

In the below illustration, you can witness a scene of people visiting the Fujizuka of the Fuji Sengen Shrine (women and the elderly who want to climb Mt. Fuji but couldn't). June 1 is the first day of the mountain-climbing season and it is said that the site was crowded with people on the previous night.

A popular souvenir on the Fuji pilgrimage was straw work snakes. They had a reputation to ward off plagues at the time.

*There are various theories.

Established during the Bunji period 5 (1189), it is said that during the battle of Oshu against Fujiwara no Yasuhira, Minamoto no Yoritomo was told to worship a deity through a revelatory dream.

It was established in front of the falconer house during the Edo period.

In the illustration, there is a lawn in front of the Torii of the Komagome Shinmei Shrine. In the "Edo Kiriezu", it is also referred to as the "Goyouchi Shinmeinohara", and it is believed to have been the production site of lawns during the Bakufu period.

Around the Komagome Shinmeigu, you will find fields that acted as suppliers of vegetables including eggplants, Japanese white radishes, and burdock for the industrial center of Edo. During the Edo period, the eggplants were popular among the locals as Komagome eggplants.

At the Suwayama Kichijoji Temple, there are cherry blossoms planted on the lengthy path from the front gate up to the main shrine. The shrine is a Sendan for the Zen sect and is described in the illustration as a dormitory.

The path to the front is the Nikko Onari Michi and going left, you will pass by Komagome, go through Nishigahara Ichirizuka, and exit to Asukayama.

This temple is the Kogen Temple and the Kannon is known as the Daikannon (great Kannon) of Komagome. It is located in a temple town where several temples are clustered together.

A large Kannon statue gazes downwards from the second floor. In the illustration, you will find 2 surprised people that are believed to be travelers looking up and pointing upwards at the statue.

It is said that that Kannon biraki (hinged double doors) structure that allowed visitors to view the Kannon statue's face was an unusual style for temple architecture.

Nezu Shrine is also known as the Nezu Gongen is an old shrine established in Sendagi when Yamato Takeru no Mikoto traveled eastwards. The main shrine was rebuilt by Ota Dokan.

"In the illustration, the waterway that is visible in front of the Soumon (castle gate) flows into the Shinobazu Pond. There is a pond within the grounds indicating it is rich with water. There are azaleas that were planted during the Edo period on the slope of the small hill, earning the spot the name Tsutsujigaoka (hill of azaleas)."

Also, according to the "Edo meisho hanagoyomi", this location is a famous spot for cherry blossoms, but it is also described to have had a teahouse crowded with visitors from early in the morning.
