Kumano Hana-no-Iwaya Kutsu: Otsuna Chaya is Michi-no-eki located right in front of Hana Hananoiwaya-jinjaShrine a World Heritage Site. It serves as a hub for eating, drinking, resting areas, specialty products, tourist information, and disseminating information, conveying the charms of Kumano.
In front of the gate is the `` Michi-no-eki Kumano Hana-no-Iwaya (Otsuna Chaya),'' which stands as a teahouse where you can relieve the fatigue of your travels and convey the charms of Kumano.
If you sit on the porch, you'll feel like a traveler from the past.
We recommend their signature menu, the "Otsuna Chaya Set" (Izanami Udon + Izanami Rice Balls) for 550 yen (tax included). A limited edition item only available at Otsuna Chaya, made by mixing ancient rice "Izanami rice". You can fully enjoy Izanami rice.
The udon noodles are made with black rice and have just the right amount of elasticity. It goes perfectly with the Izanami rice rice balls in the set.
The mitarashi dango soaked in a sweet and salty soy sauce sauce is exquisite.
We will introduce some of the most popular and recommended ones.
You can enjoy the Izanami rice you tasted at the store at home. The packaging is also perfect for souvenirs.
You can choose from two types: koshian and tsubuan. Kumano's black rice, which has an ancient flavor, is wrapped in elegantly sweet red bean paste.
The grains of black rice accentuate it, making it very delicious.
Stylish black and white design. The color black is said to be associated with mysticism, and ``Kumano no Kuro'' is a hand towel designed based on mysticism and Kumano products.
Nachi black candy is a product of craftsmanship that has been passed down over 100 years. Nachi black candy shaped like a Go stone is also made with carefully selected brown sugar and is a popular souvenir.
You can also get stamp rallies and Michi-no-eki tickets. The beautiful wooden restroom has men's, women's, and multipurpose restrooms. Diaper changing stations are also available.
Hana-no-Iwaya is the tomb where Izanami no Mikoto, the mother of the gods, gave birth to the fire god Kagutsuchi no Mikoto and was buried after she was burned to death.
In July 2004, the ``Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes of the Kii Mountains,'' including Hana-no-Iwaya were registered as a World Heritage Site. Hanakutsu Shrine (Hananoiwaya-jinjaShrine) is said to be the oldest shrine in Japan, as recorded in the Nihon Shoki, and as a sacred place since ancient times, it continues to be worshiped today and is visited by many worshipers from all over the country. .
The object of worship at Hananoiwaya-jinjaShrine is a gigantic rock 70 meters high. The rocks are so large that they can't even fit in the camera frame, and they have an impressive impact that overwhelms the viewer.
Twice a year, the ``Tsuna-kake Shinto ritual'' is held in grand style, where the rope from the sacred object is changed. This ritual has been designated as a Mie Prefecture Intangible Cultural Property and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
