cultural heritage . The 14meter- high tower was founded in 1534 by
Zensho Abo praying for his descendant's hapiness.
Kodakara-yakushi
Natural erosion of the stone. This eroded
hollow is associated with female genitals,
thus the indigenous worship it as a symbol
to be blessed with babies.
Most of the men during this festival are dressed
only in a loincloth, are throwing boiled sticky
red and shouting ''up and down''. It is believed
that picking up and eating it is helpful in
exorcizing evil spirits, also easing childbirth.
The 1.7m height cave is located in Mt.Mitakes,
just in the opposite side of the observation
platform. It is believed that Benkei moved a
rock from the entrance of the cave.
Daikokuten is the God of wealth and
commerce, and one of the Seen Lucky Gods,
placed at the main hall of the temple. It is
believed, while you are praying and touching
the statue's head, your wishes might come true.
