The bridge and Hino Hakkei

Because there was a mansion of a high-ranking person on the cloth. Near Hino Elementary School, the place name "Goshogaya" remains, and there is still "Goshogaya Bridge".
Speaking of which, "Tonoda Bridge" was a little downstream of Shimo-Mabashi. There is also a place name called Tonoda around Konandai 1-chome, but it must have been a rice field of Kitsutoden.
In addition, the hill in Hinominami where the bus stop "Kanai" is located is also called Tonoyama. It might have been a watch stand for some great lord.
There is a legend that the lowlands in front of Kasuga Shrine once had accumulated water from Hinokawa and looked like a lake.
And this area is called "Funaki", and in a long time ago there is a legend that a boat was built on the banks of the lake.
In Miyashita Village, besides "Funaki", there were old place names linked to boats such as "Ikari" and "Large Ikari". Of these, the place name "Ikari" is left as "Anchor Bridge" on the overpass of the current Konandai 1-chome.
That said, instead of the boat passing through here and lowering the anchor, I guess he was making boat equipment like anchor here.
This is because ironmaking has been done around here since ancient times. A lot of traces of the workshop have been found. There, not only weapons but also anchors were made from iron sand.
It may be only the bridge to know the true origin of such a venerable and place where only the name remains.
Since ancient times, Hino has had Hino eight views, similar to Omi eight views and Kanazawa eight views.
To explain the Hakkei of Hino, it is as follows.

○I don't like Haruarashimi-no-seen in Miyamae
(Miyamae refers to the vicinity of the current Kasuga kindergarten, which represents the beauty of the mountain air rising on a sunny day.)
○Akizuki Iseyama's Shugetsu of Iseyama
(Iseyama is a mountain opposite the Kamakura Highway in view of "Daikuma", and it is the autumn moon over that mountain.)
○It's a night rain in the well
(Godo well is a well on the road in front of Kasuga Shrine, and the place name still remains.)
○The return of the south
(Shinnandai is the highest hill in Kin Imura, located at Hino 9-chome, and refers to the view of a return boat floating in rivers and the sea from there.)
○The evening bell of Tokuonji Temple and the Bansho of Kuonji Temple
(Tokuon-ji Temple is a temple next to the east of Kasuga Shrine, which shows the evening bell cracking there.)
○It's a wild goose in Tonoda.
(Tonoda is an old place name near Konan Taihoku Park, and refers to a view of a group of seats from the sky.)
○Otara's Life Snow Otara no Bosetsu
(Otara is a place name near the municipal Konan garage, which shows the view of the snow at dusk that falls there.)
○Funaki's Evening Furanaki's Sekisho
(In front of Kasuga Shrine, around Funaki, illuminated by the tributaries of the Hinokawa flowing there, honoring the beauty of the sunset.)

In this way, it seems that the old people are saying exaggerated things, but for example, in the case of Jinnandai, it is now only slightly left as a hill in a residential area .
However, there are still people who watch the fireworks launched at Yokohama Port near this hill, so the scenery of "Minan's return trip" once seen at the higher Jinnandai, may not have been a lie.
In any case, I think that the old people left such a story because they believed that the land of Hino where they live was better than anywhere else. .

It is a story recorded in "Old Story of Hometown Konan 50 Episode".
