Koshinto tower in the form of an Olympic tower.

Tangible Folklore November 1, 2006 City Registration

In front of the shrine of Inari Shrine, the god of residence of the owner Noji Hikari family, there is an andesite Olympic tower from the early Edo period. The location of Honkoshin Tower is currently located behind a residential area on the plateau, but originally it was the back mountain of Noji's house under the plateau. In front of the air ring, wind ring, fire ring slope, fire ring eaves, and water ring, the Sanskrit characters of the eastern departure gate are engraved in the Sanskrit characters on the four sides of the Olympic tower.
In the Middle Ages, many Olympic towers were built as memorial towers, and were used as tomb towers such as flag books in the early Edo period. There are very few cases where the Olympic tower was used for Koshin Tower, and it was only after the Kanbun period that the Koshin Tower became popular after the Kanbun period, and this Koshin Tower is also valuable as a precedent. .
