- Kanagawa Naka-gun Oisomachi Oiso 1289
- A seven-minute walk from JR Oiso Station. 'Even a person free of passion would be moved to sadness; Autumn evening in a marsh where the sandpipers take flight.' In the early Edo period Sousetsu of Odawara erected a stone monument inscribed with this poem by the poet Saigyo. This is one of Japan's top three haiku poetry dojos alongside Kyoto's Rakushisha and Shiga's Mumyoan. There are over 80 stone monuments on the site including poems from Basho, Saigyo, and generations of owners of the dojo as well as a stone monument declaring the Birthplace of Shonan. Within the calm atmosphere of the dojo a variety of events and classes are held including Ikebana flower arranging and copying sutras.

名前だけは聞いていたので立ち寄りました。日本三大俳諧道場の一つらしいです。私は俳句，和歌には全く無知なのでそれほど興味を持てませんでした。この日は庵室でチェロ演奏会が行われていました。

Kanagawa Areas
Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
