Ōiso: Saigyō`s Hermitage at Snipe Marsh
(Ōiso. Shigitatsusawa saigyōan, 大磯. 鴫立沢西行庵).
Ōiso is a town of the Kanagawa prefecture facing the Sagami bay.
In the ancient time, before the Taika reform of 645 a.d it was part of the domain controlled by the Shinagano clan.
With the introduction of the Ritsuryō reform when the Shinano clan domain was unified with the Sagamu`s one, Ōiso became part of the Yurugi district of the newly born Sagami country.
At the northeastern side of Yurugi`s boundaries broaden Ōsumi lived a community of people came from Goguryeo (Kōkuryō) one of the three kingdoms existing in the Korean peninsula by that time.
During the Nara period and Heian period a timespan which spread from 710 a.d to 1185 a.d it was the place where provincial office was established by imperial court of Kyōtō.
Thanks to the mild temperature and warm climate of the area attention towards Ōiso has been growing up in recent times as tourist and visitor more often spend time to one of its health resorts or swimming area.
