History

Byakko

This is Yasui Konpiragu, famous for severing bad relationships! Long revered as the deity who cuts bad ties and forges good ones, the 'Enmusubi Ensetsu Sekihi' (stone tablet for cutting and forming relationships) within the grounds is extraordinary, covered with countless wish tablets. Visitors pass through the hole in the stone tablet while praying; the custom is to crawl through from front to back to sever bad ties, and from back to front to forge good relationships. From what I have observed, many people experience turning points in their lives here.
