It is famous for “Daikokusama” for good luck familiar with local residents or believers of it from each place of near and far and it is usually called “Daikokusama in Matsugasaki”.
There is a torii in front of the gate and it seems to be a shrine by one sight, its premises is the one of temples. There are several statues of lovely Daikokusama, which bring a smile to the worshippers’ s face.
However, there is a small sha called Shirakumo Inari shrine in its premises, and it seemed to be a temple with Shinbutsu-Shugo shades.
