The nickname of "Konpira-san"

#aprilblooms The main temple of Kontohira Shrine, built on Mt. Shoto. About 4 million worshippers visit every year. Omono Shujin, the main deity, has been known as the guardian deity of maritime transportation since before the Middle Ages, and is a god who brings the prosperity of grain and industrial culture. It is enshrined in the main palace, which is said to have been founded before the Taika Reform. From Monzenmachi to the main hall, there are long stone stairs, and the number of them is a whopping 785 steps! Let's go up slowly step by step with wishes. On the way, it is also recommended to take a break at an art spot where you can admire the cultural properties and works of art in the collection of Kotohira Shrine and at the cafe & restaurant Kamitsubaki. The "yellow amulet of happiness" is also popular.
