Kappafuchi

Kappa-buchi, located behind Joken-ji Temple, has clear water flowing through it and is covered with thick bushes, making it look like a kappa will appear at any moment. On the shore of the abyss, there is a small shrine dedicated to the god Kappa, and it is said that if a woman with a child makes a wish for breast milk, her wish will come true. When making a wish, it is customary to make the shape of a breast out of red cloth and place it in this shrine.

Five hundred arhats

In the 5th year of the Horeki era, in addition to the flood, there were over 60,000 people who died of starvation and disease in the entire domain due to a major crop failure that was considered one of the four major famines in the southern domain, and the following year, as a result of this, 2,500 people died of starvation in Tono territory alone. It is said that the number of harvests has increased, and poor harvests and bad harvests have continued since then. In the 3rd year of Tenmei, the 19th head priest of Daiji Temple, Gizan, carved 500 large and small natural stone statues of Arhats to repose the souls of those who died of starvation due to repeated poor harvests.

Kuratsubo soba

This soba is made with ``Kuretsubo Kabu,'' which was praised as a condiment for soba, sashimi, and yakiniku in the gourmet manga ``Oishinbo Volume 32.'' The unique spiciness that is different from chili peppers and wasabi brings out the soba noodles.
