People come here to pray for children, not getting female diseases and other problems during a pregnancy.
Once upon a timeon
a Samurai and his daughter passed here on a long journey. The daughter was very tired but her father got angry, killed her and buried her, putting a piece of shiba 柴 brushwood on the grave.
The villagers took pity of the girl and built a small Shrine to venerate her.
Since then women with female health problems come here to pray.
