Legendary Midnight-Curse Well

A well asleep down a latticed alley off Sakaimachi Street. Legend holds that the betrayed wife of the Noh play Kanawa fell lifeless here after her midnight curse pilgrimages; its water was feared for severing ill-fated bonds. The well is dry now, kept by the small Myobu Inari shrine.
