This is the well where abundant water springs forth. This well is called Iori’s Sacred Spring from the name of the nearby grave of Edo period samurai Iori Suzuki. Two stone monuments are adjacent to the spring; the one on the right is a commemorative stone inscribed by Mayor Yorinaga Ori, and the left is believed to be Iori's grave.
Iori Suzuki is known for his advocacy for local peasants. In 1686, during the Edo period, despite consecutive poor harvests, the lord imposed increased taxes on peasants, leading to a large-scale peasant uprising. Though Iori pleaded for leniency and succeeded in stopping the death penalty, he could not arrive in time to save the leaders of the revolt from execution. This legend, though now more myth than fact, suggests Iori's sympathy for the peasants, earning him a revered place in local folklore. People still come to the well named after him for water.
