静岡市内から車で険しい山道を2時間近く走ってようやくつくような場所です。あいにく火曜日は休みで中にはいれませんでしたが、休憩ができ、自販機があり、広い駐車場があることはわかりました。駐車場に立つと周りを山に囲まれただけの空がとてもきれいでした。

- Shizuoka Shizuoka-shi Suruga-ku Utsunoya 729-1
- "The ""Enmeijizoson (life-prolonging Jizo statue)"", which travelers who formerly passed through Utsunoya Pass so as to not come into contact with demons visited, is placed here. The ""todango"" sold during the fair from August 23rd to 24th is a charm against evil spirits passed down since the Muromachi period. Normally, you would buy it at the ""Ohaoriya"" just in front of Utsunoya Pass, and then put it at the entrance to circumvent misfortune. The secret Buddha of Enmeijizoson is a sitting stone statue said to have been built by Kobo Daishi. There is the ""gokaicho"" (opening the gate) every 21 years."
