It is said that this is the place where Osu and Takematsu, servants of Awazu Onsen, met in the past. The end of the waterfall was originally called ``Osshobe'' by the local residents, and over time this waterfall came to be called ``Osshobe Falls.'' It is also said that the ``Otoko-ishi/Onna-seki'', ``Aizen Myoo Statue'', and ``Fuku Honsaku Kannon Statue'' were erected as places where two people were united in love, and that if you visit these statues, your love life will come true. Aizen Myo-o is said to be the best Myo-o in the Kongo world, and the teaching that he accumulates merit by improving his earthly desires and desires is said to be beneficial for marriage, luck in encounters, and success in love. In the Shingon sect, the statue of Fuku Honsaku Kannon is said to bring blessings for recovery from illness and prosperity in business, and here it is said that the statue becomes a beautiful woman and is loved by those who have a crush on it. At Osshobe Park near the waterfall, there is a Bell of Happiness as a monument to the sacred place of lovers. According to the information board, ``If you ring it once, you will find love, if you ring it three times, your love will deepen, and if you ring it five times, it will bring back your memories.''
