The Beheaded Jizo

Uesugi Kenshin gathered an array of warships to attack Moridera Castle. When they arrived at a location offshore from Amaharashi, the ships suddenly stopped moving. Arisaka Bichu, Uesugi's military commander, came ashore and found a grinning jizo between the pine trees. When Arisaka cut off its head, the ships began to move at once. This jizo is now located behind the JR Amaharashi Station.
