There are a number of temples and shrines and religious institutions in this area. The most important ones are Ōsu Kannon and Banshō-ji and not far away is Hongan-ji Betsuin temple.

Ryukasui was said to be one of three of the highest quality water springs in Owari Province. It was supplied from a well in front of the gate of Seijuin, which was abolished around 1870 during the religious reforms of the Meiji era. Ryukasui was generally used as an offering and when the Shōgun stopped there on his way to Kyoto, it was presented to him as drinking water.
