A traveler who visited this area once mowed the Ogi that grew naturally around here and built a grass temple to enshrine the Kannon statue. Ogikusado is named “Ogido”. In addition to this, it seems that the place name “Ogikubo” was given because the terrain is a depression. From the Taisho era to the early Showa era, it became a villa in the suburbs of Tokyo, and many cultural figures such as writers, artists, musicians, and critics began to migrate. The situation at that time is introduced on the YouTube channel.
