According to the instruction manual, it seems that many of them died due to the epidemic of livestock in the early Edo period. For that reason, the villagers built it. At that time, it made me think that it would be difficult if the horses and cows were gone when they were working.

a small company.

Original Text

A small shrine rather than a shrine in a residential area along the old Sanyo Road from Kokubunji to the Mori Museum. There is no torii gate. It seems to be a god of livestock safety, and now pet offerings were seen. The gate next to the shrine is an ordinary house, and I thought it would be useless if I accidentally entered.

A little bit of a slut.

It appears when you walk along the old Sanyo Road. There is an explanation about the company and the pet, but I only looked at it from a distance.

Pet guardian deity.

Original Text

25 minutes walk from JR Hofu station. It is located between Suo Kokubunji Temple and Saba Shrine. In 1640, the disease spread to dogs and horses in this area, and many died, so the shrine was built and prayed. The shrine was rebuilt in 1990. Since it was erected, it seems to be the guardian deity of pets now.
