The intersection before crossing the cross was a field mainly of pine trees long ago. People lost their way and this was made a fox or a raccoon. For that reason, Masuda Temple 14 Masuzenji Masuda inscribed the word “Asa Mai Tadashi Masa Asa Mai is behind Yuzawa Right to the left of Yuzawa left” as a signpost that knows the direction and the place name. Currently, the signposts are on display at the Cross Hall Historical Data Exhibition Room. There is a replica statue in front of the JR Cross Station, and a monument is built in the intersection in front of the station.
