Original Text

It's been a long time since I visited the hall of worship, although I sometimes pass in front of it. When I stopped by during the weekday morning hours, the office worker-like worshipers on the way to commute did not interrupt one after another, and it seemed good to be an urban shrine that blends into daily life.

The deities are Shohikona no Mikoto and Emperor Shinnoen. It was built in 1780, but it was said that it became an independent shrine in 1906. He is called Shinnou in Doshu Town, and is said to have the virtue of promoting health as a god of medicine and prospering business as a god of trade. It is located in the valley of the building, a little west of Sakaisuji. It's a mysterious space. There is no parking lot.
