During a famine, Minamoto no Yoritomo offered up prayers to save the people. Ugafukujin, the harvest and fertility deity, appeared to him in a dream and told him about this spring. Hojo Tokiyori also prayed to this god and washed money for prosperity. To this day the spring attracts crowds of people washing money.
