During the Edo period, Ōji bustled as a tourist destination for worshipping Ōji Inari Shrine and waterfall bathing. It is said that restaurants stood in line near the Otonashi River. Ebi-ya and Ōgi-ya, in particular, were listed in the restaurant ranking of the Edo period. Ebi-ya was run by the brothers of Ōgi-ya, but only Ōgi-ya remains until now.
