During the Kan'ei era (1624-1643), the place where He Pintoku, a Chinese man who made counterfeit money, was executed, was where Otowa, a tragic prostitute who admired him, was executed. ) committed suicide here. It is said that the area came to be known by this name because of the castle mound where this prostitute was buried.
