History
This shrine, as its name suggests, is a unique shrine related to 'frogs.' Various frog statues are placed within the precincts, delighting visitors. Frogs have auspicious meanings such as 'returning safely' and 'money returning,' thus drawing people who wish for increased financial luck, business prosperity, and safe returns. It has gathered local faith for a long time. I, too, would like to invite good fortune at this shrine someday.
