Kakimoto Shrine
The god of the festival is one of the thirty-six kasen, Kakimoto Hon-jin Maro. The neighborhood is said to be the birthplace, and it is said to have been the beginning that the shrine was built on the other side, with the reinterment of Maro, who had died in the Iwami country, in the first year of Houki (770). There is a stone monument on the south side of the shrine inscribed with the inscription "Kakimoto Daijuma Maruyuki Tomb". The temple (Yogenji), which continues on the precinct, is also known as Kakimoto-ji, and houses a wooden statue of the human Maro. It is said that the inset neck faces the moon in the middle of the night.
