There is Kototsuzuka next to the Fukuda Museum of Art. It is said that Kototsu, who was torn off with Emperor Takakura by the side of Kiyomori, lived in this area. There is a railing carved with "Koto listening bridge" on the small stone bridge in front of Kurori Shrine Tongu, and a stone monument with "Koto listening bridge ruins" on the wall of Togetsu Bridge. These historic sites based on the Heike story feel historical romance.
