As soon as you exit the Iizaka Onsen station, you will find a statue of Basho Matsuo in front of you. He said that he took a bath in Iizaka Onsen with Sora on the way to the back road. It is a hot spring area with a connection with Basho Matsuo.

Original Text

It is a statue and monument of Poet Basho Matsuo at the foot of the bridge, just in front of Iizaka Onsen Station. It seems that there is a fact that he visited Iizaka Onsen in the 17th century, and it is named after that.

There is a memorial statue of Basho and Sora in front of Fukushima Station, but for some reason there is no Sora at the foot of Toamibashi. I was disappointed only by Sora, who was caring about his master and taking care of him on the way to the trip. The two left Fukagawa in Edo on the 2nd year of Genroku (1689) ３ month 27. It was Basho 45 years old and Sora 40 years old on a long trip over about ５ Month ６００ Ri (２４００ｋｍ). It was 5 ... that passed through the shimotsuke and passed the sukagawa River across the entrance of Mutsu 'Shirakawa no Seki' on April 20 and took the inn in iizaka.
