The general guard of the famous main shrine

#aprilblooms An old shrine that is said to have been founded in the 2nd year of Jokan (860) by Ennin, the Daishi of Jikaku, after receiving an oracle from the incarnation of Susano no Mikoto. "Susa no Mikoto", which is said to have benefits such as grain abundance, matchmaking, and bad luck, "Amenohohi no Mikoto", which is said to be the god of the sun and the god of rice ears, and "Sada Tokishinno", which is in charge of agriculture and academic improvement. It is widely revered as a shrine that accepts various wishes because it enshrines the three pillars of "Unomikoto". There are many attractions in the precincts, such as a magnificent shrine of cypress Gongen-zukuri with detailed designs, and Miwa no Torii, which is rare in the country. If you stroke the same place as the bad part of your body, the "stroking cow" is said to relieve the disease and pain is also a must-see. Next to the shrine, "Komagyu", which is not a koma dog, is enshrined, and he protects the god with sharp eyes.
