O gongno song, Atami
Facts and practical information
Omiya-no-matsu is a pine tree located along Route 135 in the town of Tokaigan-cho, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is said to be the setting of the parting scene between Kan'ichi Hazama and Omiya on the Atami beach in the newspaper novel "Golden Yasha" by Momiji Ozaki. The original pine tree was located in the center of the road and was called "Hagoromo no Matsu", but in August 1919, a monument to the poem "Golden Yasha" was erected by Kazuha Oguri, a pupil of Momiji, and thus the name "Omiya no Matsu" was given. As the spread of automobiles caused the pine tree to decline due to exhaust gas and pavement, a second pine tree was planted in November 1966, donated by the local Atami Hotel. In January 1986, the Atami Rotary Club erected a statue of Kan'ichi and Omiya by Hiroo Tateno next to the second pine tree.
