Etchū Well, Water well in Morinomiya Chūō, Japan
The Etchū Well stands as a preserved water source with stone walls and traditional architectural elements in the urban landscape of Morinomiya Chūō, Osaka.
In 1600, before the Battle of Sekigahara, this well remained the sole structure standing after Lord Ecchu Hosokawa's residence was completely destroyed by fire.
The well marks the location where Lady Gratia, refusing to surrender as hostages, chose death by sword rather than suicide due to her Christian beliefs.
Visitors can reach the well at 2-12 Morinomiyachuo, Chuo-ku, Osaka, using either the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line or the JR Osaka Loop Line to Morinomiya Station.
This water source represents one of the few remaining structures from the pre-Sekigahara period in Osaka, connecting modern visitors to feudal Japanese history.
