Musashi Miyamoto Victory Monument
Musashi Miyamoto is said to be the greatest swordsman of the early Edo Period (1603-1867), who remained undefeated throughout his life. He confidently stated at only 13 years old, "I can defeat anyone, no matter the opponent." It is said that Musashi defeated famous samurai Kihei Arima here at Kanakura Bridge with just a single swing of his sword. This monument commemorates Musashi Miyamoto and is engraved with a passage of "Gorinsho Jobun" (The Book of Five Rings), an ancient text he wrote on Japanese kenjutsu and other martial arts.

Sugisaka Monument
This monument was erected to commemorate one of Emperor Go-Daigo's loyal samurai, Kojima Takanori's most tragic failures. Emperor Go-Daigo (1288-1339) was exiled to the remote Oki Islands after the failed coup d'etat attempt to overthrow the Kamakura Shogunate. While being transported, Kojima Takanori waited at Funasaka Pass to ambush the transportation unit and save Emperor Go-Daigo from being exiled. However, the Emperor did not pass through the Funasaka Pass but through the Sugisaka Pass at this very spot. When Takanori learned of this, he rushed to Sugisaka Pass, but he was too late and unable to save the Emperor.
