Heian Jingū, the Lake Biwa Canal, the geisha dances and the Jidai Matsuri were all born at this time.

The store's survival is credited to a small shrine called Takenobu-jinja (武信神社)
In the Edo period Kameya Yoshinaga (亀屋良長) fell on hard times and came close to shutting down.

The old man (god of Takenobu-jinja) shared a recipe for 'kōrimochi' (氷餅), a type of mochi made with extra water, moulded into rectangular blocks, tied with straw and left outside on cold days to freeze dry.
Thanks to this sweet, popular with tea masters, the store flourished.

Heian Jingū's (平安神宮) sprawling 33060m2 'Shin-en' garden (神苑) is divided into 4 parts: Higashi (東神苑-East), Naka (中神苑-Middle), Nishi (西神苑-West), and Minami (南神苑-South).
Beginning in 1895, it took Ogawa Jihei VII (小川治兵衛 1860-1933) 20 years to finish the first 3.
