Squash

Morai River and Amaya Ohashi

At present, housing complex and houses were built, and there was no old charm, but the towels of Amaya Ohashi were rice fields and fields until four or fifty years ago.
Normally, the rice fields continue all over the river, but the rice fields in Noba were called the rare "flying rice fields" because they were in some places. Why did you have such a flying field?
Once upon a time, when there was still a person who was dadarabochi.
One day, he said he came to Noba.
Dadarabocchi is a big man, but a very kind man. He was standing on his toes so as not to cover the houses in the village.
It was when I came close to the Morai River. The horse, who was drinking water in the river, was surprised and suddenly burst into tears, so I was surprised to walk quietly and quietly.
I couldn't help but put my strength on my toes, and my fingers stuck in the soil. It is said that the place where the water was piled up in the hollow was "Hida".
There's still a continuation of the story. The horse that surprised me was that a religious person named Masako Hojo went from Kamakura to Komyoji Kannon on a horse, but it was the horse at that time. He said he was taking a break to let horses drink water in the riverbank around Amaya.
This person is an Erai man, though he was called the "Nunshogun".
Darabocchi was surprised and made a flying field, but the fooled horse pretended to be the river and washed his face, so this river came to be called the "Morai River" and the mountain in front of Morai Bridge was called "Fung Mountain".
So, the later people came to sing such a song while going out to the rice field and working.

Morai River and Amaya Ohashi

Noba has a nice rain
Is there a beautiful woman?
Squeezing feet
Chased by a nun's horse
I'm going to see you.
I did "fun"
