The caves are said to have first been opened up in the Kamakura period, and the walls are carved with images of the great monk Kukai and the principle objects of worship in pilgrimage sites throughout Shikoku, Saigoku, Bando, and Chichibu.

Kanagawa Pref. Yokohamashi Isogo-ku Shinsugitachou 3-5

Ramen Sugita-ya is the first directly managed restaurant by Yoshimura-ya, which is widely known for its iekei-style ramen (pork bone broth with soy sauce and strait noodles). For many years it has carefully preserved the flavor and taste of its birthplace ramen. Large amounts of chicken bones and pork bones are used as a base for a broth of exquisite thickness. The cooks are proud of the careful, rhythmic way in which they drain water from the noodles, for this is one action that helps determine the taste. Inside the shop is a notice board that shows how to eat ramen in a tastier way. The shop opens quite early, at 5:00 a.m.

Superb delicious lamen. Only 15 seats always busy with queues to taste the most marvelous lamen you can eat in Japan. Broth is cooked in large pans. Show lamen cookers

Kanagawa Yokohama-shi Minami-ku Minami-ota 1-24-41

"This Nichiren Buddhist temple is located a one-minute walk from Keikyu Minamiota Station. Famously known as the ""Hariti of Ota,"" the temple enshrines a statue of Kishimojin said to have once been kept in the inner palace in the Edo period. The temple's large main temple building escaped destruction during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 as well as the bombing of Yokohama and famously played a significant role as an accommodation space for victims after these events. The view from the vicinity of the temple's huge statue of the monk Nichiren, which stands on a rise, is spectacular. Visitors can get a sweeping view encompassing the Kannai and Yamashita-cho districts."
