History

Kai Jinja in Kajima-machi, Kumamoto, enshrines the Sengoku-era warriors Kai Soriu and Kai Sorun. Revered as the head shrine of the Ashide Kojin faith, it is celebrated as the deity of arms and legs. Worshippers seek healing of limb ailments, protection for athletes, and traffic safety. The popular epithet Ashide Kojin draws pilgrims from throughout Kyushu.
