The Remains of Shimizu-mon Gate

There was spring water gushing out under the huge rocks on the north side of the gate. It is said that the spring water never dries out at any time. A barrel is depicted in the illustration which demonstrates that the water was for daily use. A small shrine placed between the huge rocks is a Hachi-dai Ryu-o (Eight Great Dragon Kings) shrine, which was transferred to this place after the Meiji era.
