■Features of Oya stone

A specialty stone from Tochigi Prefecture that is unique in its warm and soft texture. Oya stone is a type of pumice tuff that is mined around Utsunomiya Otani-cho, Tochigi Prefecture, and is a specialty of Utsunomiya City. Oya stone has a long history and has been used by people since the Jomon period. Because it is soft and easy to work with, it is used in a wide variety of construction materials such as foundation stones, retaining walls, earth retaining walls, stone walls, paving stones, tiles, and blocks. Compared to other stones, it has a beautiful texture that gives a sense of warmth, and is sometimes used in high-end buildings. Recently, the texture of Oya stone has a highly relaxing effect, so it has been attracting attention as a healthy building material that produces healing effects. Oya stone tiles can be used as construction materials for cafes, restaurants, commercial facilities, etc. Oya stone coasters are very popular at tourist spots in Otani, and are also used as souvenirs and commemorative items with names engraved on them.
