A shrine that benefits the health of the legs
Since the enshrined deity 'Kiyomaro' was saved by 300 boars and his leg wounds were healed, he is worshipped as a god who protects his legs and waist. There are many statues of boars in the shrine.
The picture shows buildings of the shrine, built in 1886.
"Kurata-teigushi" is a wishing paper. If you put this paper card with your name and wish on it and stick it in front of the boar near the sacred tree, your wish will come true.
It is said that if you stroke the nose of a wild boar in the chozuya (purification trough) on your right after entering the precincts, happiness will come. The appearance of water coming out of the mouth of the boar is humorous and cute.
There are 3 colors of foot bag charm and 2 colors of waist bag charm. There are 1,100 yen netsuke type and 1,300 yen amulets for both legs and waist, so choose one according to your preference.
Cute wild boar with a different look. There is a fortune slip inside, so choose your favorite. After you read your fortune, decorate your room.
This goshuin books is made of suede fabric and has a luxurious feel. On the front side is a “mukai-yotsu-fuji”, the crest of the god, and on the back is a boar.
