Yoshichi Stone Monument
Scenic and Historic Locations
This stone monument near the Shimoncho entrance to Kumagawa-juku is a tribute to a man named Yoshichi, who is considered the epitome of filial piety in the area. Yoshichi lived in Kumagawa-juku with his wife approximately 300 years ago. Though the two were very poor, they never failed to provide food for their elderly parents. When the lord of the Obama domain heard about the couple’s respect and devotion to their parents, he praised their commitment and gifted them with rice to support the entire family.
