Let's find out more! Chinzei Taisha Suwa Shrine

  You can see the bridge railing in the back left.

  I found a bridge railing in front of the first torii gate!

  In the mid-Edo period, there was a bridge called ``Kobashi'' that led from the three steps in front of the current Ichino Torii to the next torii. Moreover, there are traces left behind.
  
  eh? where! If you look closely around you, you will see the remains of a bridge railing. When you look under it, it doesn't seem to be flowing, but water is flowing through it!
  
  This is a valuable ruin that brings to mind the scenery of worshipers from the Edo period. Please be careful when visiting!

  Candidates should also pray to the komainu for success/A komainu for wishes that prostitutes also prayed for.

  Wishing guardian dogs dotted around the shrine grounds

  There are rare guardian guardian dogs dotted around the back of the shrine.
  The ``Komainu'', which is prayed to by tying a rope around its legs, is extremely effective in helping people quit drinking, quitting smoking, and preventing slipping during entrance exams.
  
  It is said that if you wash your money in the water from this well, it will double, and the ``Komainuido'' water is also said to be effective for safe childbirth.
  
  It is said that in the past, prostitutes prayed for sailors to stay one more night when the seas were rough, and when making a wish, they would spin a stone with a guardian dog placed on it.
  
  Kappa guardian dogs pray by pouring water over their heads, so they are always wet.
  
  The one who pulls out the thorns in your heart is a slightly scary-looking ``thorn remover guardian dog.''
  
  Please pick up the guide map with detailed explanations distributed at the shrine office and take a tour around the shrine to pray.
