Shrines The stone is the goshintai, the object of worship, of Oshiko Shrine. It is one of the “three great miracles of Japan,” along with Ama no Sakahoko (upside-down spear of heaven) in Takaharu-cho, Miyazaki Prefecture, and the Yonku no Shinkama (four holy jars) in Shiogama City, Miyagi Prefecture. It is a giant stone structure measuring 6.4 meters in wide, 5.7 meters in height, and 7.2 meters in depth and weighing approximately 500 tons. The stone is called "ukiishi" (floating stone) and well-loved by the locals as it appears to float on the water. It is unknown when and for what purpose this huge stone was created. The stone is also famous as a power stone which can be touched, attracting many visitors from within and outside of the prefecture.

Shrines The shrine enshrines Ishi no Hoden (the stone treasure hall) as its goshintai (object of worship), which is one of the three great miracles of Japan. According to the shrine's legend, during the reign of the 10th Emperor Sujin, who was honored as Emperor Hatsu-Kuni-Shirasu-Sumeramikoto (the august founder of the country), a plague spread throughout Japan and threatened the country with the extinction of its people. One night, two deities appeared in the Emperor's dream and gave him an oracle; "If our spirits are worshiped and enshrined, peace will reign over the land." Oshiko Shrine was then built here. After the foundation, the plague had ended, and the country became at peace. AddressOoshiko-171 Amidacho, Takasago, Hyogo 676-0823 Closed onOpen all year round http://www.ishinohouden.jp

The house site is long from north to south, covering an area of approximately 1,436 square meters.

Shrines Sone Tenmangu Shrine is known as a shrine enshrining Sugawara no Michizane. According to legend, during the Engi era (901), Michizane was exiled to Dazaifu in Kyushu due to slander. On the way there, he climbed Mount Higasayama for a rest, planted a pine tree, and said, "If I have no sin, prosper." This tree later called Sone-no-Matsu (Sone's pine tree), and it is said that Atsushige, Michizane's fourth son, who was later exiled to Harima, enshrined his father by this pine tree, making it the beginning of Sone Tenmangu Shrine. On October 13 and 14 every year, an autumn festival is held and many people from all over Japan come to visit the shrine.

Temples Jikoji Temple is called "Zenkoji Temple of Harima." About 400 years ago, there was an old and devoted Buddhist practitioner in Hyogo-no-Ura who visited Zenkoji Temple in Shinano (present-day Nagano Prefecture) every year without fail. One day, however, Zenkoji Nyorai, the Buddha of Zenkoji, felt pity for the old man who had to travel a long way to make a pilgrimage to the temple. Nyorai then told him to visit Jikoji Temple from now on because the same Amida (the Buddha of limitless light) of the Zenkoji Temple simultaneously resides at Jikoji Temple. As such, it is said that "three visits to Jikoji Temple fulfills one visit to Zenkoji Temple."

History A street named in commemoration of the birth of Yamagata Banto with his statue. Yamagata Banto was a merchant and scholar in the mid-Edo period, born in a farmhouse in Kazume Village, Inami County, Harima Province (now Takasago City, Hyogo Prefecture).

Shrines Two deities, Kamotaketsunomi-no-Mikoto and Tamayorihime-no-Mikoto, are enshrined as the worshiped deities. The details of the founding history of the shrine are unknown. The shrine was divided from the Kamo Mioya-jinja Shrine (Shimogamo Shrine) in Kyoto. At the precincts of Kamo Shrine, you will find a haiku monument of Matsuo Basho, the mound of Hodo Sennin Karahachi, as well as the heart-shaped chozubachi washbasin Koi-no-Yashiro (shrine of love), which is said to fulfill your wishes if you take a picture of it.
