3big rocks with demon hands

While walking around morioka city we came across this place; 3 huge rocks which is believed that their is hand prints of demon on the rocks The shrine is small; it’s a cute place to visit not far from iwate park Just come if you are around the area The story of the shrine: "Mitsuishi" means "three stones", so the name of the shrine is derived from the three big rocks. Long, long ago, when Mount Iwate volcano to the northwest of Morioka erupted, three big rocks were shot out from the volcano. The people in this area believed that the Gods lived in the rocks as "God Mitsuishi". On one occasion, a demon appeared and bullied the people. So, the people asked God Mitsuishi for help. The God fought off the demon and tied him to the big rocks of the God. The demon promised never to do that again, and the God made him seal his hand print on the rock as a certificate.
