History

Kūkai dug a well here with his staff and white milky water (hakusui) came up which proved to be effective in curing all sorts of sicknesses. As well, it is believed that the water will bring good fortune. There are many stories of people with leg problems who have come here and been healed. Some pilgrims left wagons here because they did not have to rely on them any longer. [Provided by Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide]
