| The starting point of the Ishibumi
no Michi stone monument hiking trail is the Yamana Hachimangu Shrine.
This shrine is a very famous place for parents to come to pray to
raise their children well. There is a spring festival (April 15th)
and an autumn festival (October 15th) held here every year. On these
days, visitors come to this shrine to buy a Shishigashira (lion's
head) and a sickle. The building was constructed 250 years ago with
decorative sculptures along the main building. Six fantastic brightly
colored beasts stand guard over the building capturing the attention
of all who come to pray. |
