This spot is said to be where legendary warriors Abe no Seimei and Ashiya Dōman fought to the death.

Vistors to the area can also see "Yaritobi Bridge" where the two were said to shoot many arrows at one another during their battle, as well as "Otsuke-ba", where it is said that Seimei washed Dōman's severed head after defeating him. The Seimei Mound has existed here since the Muromachi Period (1336-1573) and the Dōman Mound since 1797.
