From Back Roads to Far Towns Station 4 - Muronoyashima(March 29) Visited the Muro-no-Yashima. My companion, Sora, said: "The deity here, Konohana Sakuya Hime, is the same as that at Fuji. She went and set fire to the Utsu-muro to prove her innocence and out of this was Prince Hohodemi born and the place called Muro-no-Yashima. And why poetry written about it mentions smoke." Also fish known as konoshiro prohibited here. Story behind it common knowledge.
