47.Dorokujin in Kubocho (near Kubocho 51-12)
From Kubocho Street to Kuboyama Cemetery. You can see the main hall with a bright vermilion color of Enmanji Temple. From there, about 100 meters to the right, there is a small shrine that passes through the stone wall of a private house. It is called Dorokujin in this area, but it seems that there is a great spiritual test for foot sickness and injury.
Michirokujin is also written as Dorikujin, but has long been regarded as a god at the entrance of villages to prevent the invasion of plagues and evil spirits and protect the safety of travelers. It is also said that the Chinese ancestral god combined with Japan's "the god of fortress."
It is said that the festival is on the 5th day of each month, but those who have disappeared are offering sandals to thank you. A lot of sandals and flowers are still offered to testimony of a new spiritual test.
