Oya, the “stone town,” is one of Utsunomiya’s must-see spots, known for its historic streets and beautiful natural scenery.

Even in summer, Oya History Museum (Oya Shiryokan) can be quite cool, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or cardigan if you're visiting in a yukata. Beyond the museum, you'll find plenty of other fantastic spots for photos, including charming alleys surrounded by Oya stone and stylish cafes, where your yukata will truly shine!
