Kanawa Well



This place has a well with a frightening legend, the setting for the Noh play "Tetsunawa." Long ago, a woman betrayed by her husband lived here and, out of jealousy, cursed her husband through a ritual known as "ushi no koku mairi." However, he was saved by Abe no Seimei, who drove away the curse. This well is still carefully worshiped today and is known as a secret well for severing ties. Next to the well, there is also a shrine for Inari, dedicated to harmony between couples and prosperity.
