Description
Discover the Oya Underground Labyrinth on a guided eco-tour in Utsunomiya. Visit the Oya-ji Temple, see the cliff-carved Buddha, and break raw Oya stone with your own hands at a working quarry.
Meet your guide at Oya Connect and hop aboard a low-speed eco-vehicle to tour the Oya Rock Formations, a National Place of Scenic Beauty. Listen as your guide explains the quarrying history and the local faith in the rocks over a microphone and speaker system.
Next, visit Oya-ji Temple, where the main object of worship is not a statue placed inside a building, but the rock itself. See the Oya Kannon, one of Japan's oldest cliff-carved Buddhist images and a nationally designated Special Historic Site and Important Cultural Property. If the head priest is at the temple, he may give a special talk.
Continue to the Oya History Museum and walk down into the vast former underground quarry. Feel the cool underground air as you learn about the history of the quarry.
Finally, visit a working quarry and break raw Oya stone with your own hands. Then, make a stone deodorizer to take home.
