Records of higisho were left all over Japan, including the Aizu Region and the Omi Province, and mounds called "tekka zuka" (a grave for red-hot iron), which are said to have been built as a result of higisho, remain in some areas.
火起請の記録は会津地方や近江国など各地に見られ、また火起請の結果築かれたと伝えられる「鉄火塚」と呼ばれる塚が残っている地域も存在する。
