'Heizaemon (Hei no Saemon no Jo) Yoritsuna massacred an innumerable number of people. His house which used to be here was swallowed up by the earth when he was murdered. Everybody said that he went to hell alive, and that is why up until now this place has been called Heizaemon's Hell.'
「昔、平左衛門頼綱は数え切れないほどの虐殺を行った。ここには彼の邸があり、彼が殺されると建物は地中に沈んでいった。人々はみな、生きながら地獄に落ちていったのだと語り合い、それ故に今に至るまで平左衛門地獄と呼んでいます。」
