In western Tokyo, there's a pond in Inokashira Park that's notorious for causing couples to split-up after they take a rowboat out onto its waters. It's said that there is a shrine dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of all things that flow, located near the pond and that she is extremely jealous and vengeful. When the goddess sees happy couples in the rowboat, she becomes irate and forces them apart. Her curse can be stopped if the couple pays a visit to her shrine immediately after their boat ride. This unexplained curse also haunts many other ponds and lakes throughout Japan.
