Guzyumujin-dō (鬼子母神堂) is a shrine dedicated to the deity Guzyumujin, who blesses safe childbirth and child-rearing. The approach from "Guzyumujin-mae" station extends along both sides of the path lined with zelkova trees, which have been designated as a natural monument of Tokyo. In the shrine grounds, the large ginkgo tree is also a must-see highlight; it is said to be over 700 years old. The historic shop "Kamikawaguchi-ya" (上川口屋) sells nostalgic snacks and is another attraction not to be missed. Along the path, there is a local tourist information center called "Zoshigaya Annai-sho" (雑司谷案内処) that exhibits and sells various local toys and specialties, particularly famous for the owl souvenirs made from miscanthus grass.
