    A stone monument of "Heike's full water" stands along National Highway 9. If there was no this stone monument, I wouldn't have paid attention to the red torii gate and well standing on the coast down the stairs from the road. I felt romantic that the legend of the Heike warlord was here in the battle of Dannoura ... remained in shape.

    It is a historic site with only a very simple torii gate and a shrine. When the samurai of the Taira family, who had a deep hand in the battle of dannoura, found a water reservoir on this coast where he arrived and took a bite and drank it, it was supposed to be seawater, but it was "fresh water". There is a legend that when I tried to take another bite, it was salty seawater this time. A shrine is built in Shimizu, which springs near the stone monument, and it seems that it is still offered in front of the God of Akama Jingu shrine as a young water on New Year's Day.

    If you walk from Dannoura to Maeda along the strait, you will find it on the coast in front of Shizuka's restaurant.

    I was interested in the battle of Dannoura and visited 12 in the month. It's in a very inconspicuous place, so I was a little lost until I got here. It's a place where you can feel the history of about 800 years ago. The busho (Japanese military commander) of the Taira family, who had a deep hand in the battle of dannoura and swam to the shore from his life, found a small spring water in this place, and the water that tried to keep his throat was fresh water. However, the legend that the busho was absorbed in 2 and the fresh water changed to salt water. "

    It was fresh water where the samurai of the Heike who lost in the battle of Dannoura drank a lot for spring water, but there is a mysterious legend that when I drank the second cup, it changed to seawater.
