Kishimojin: A unique shrine

We arrived at our first stop, Kishimojin-mae Station. As soon as we got off the train, we saw a special railway view, which is rare in Tokyo. Next to it is the Torii Gate. After entering the Torii Gate, the street is so quiet, so retro, and so rural. The small torii has Kishimojin written on it Walk to the end and turn left to arrive at Kishimo Shrine Kishimojin is a shrine that protects pregnant women and children. It is said to be very effective. Legend has it that Guizimu was originally a hungry ghost. In order to feed her own five hundred children, she killed other people's babies as food. Later, the Buddha hid her child and asked her to empathize with him, which inspired her. This legend makes the Kishimo Shrine more interesting. The most distinctive feature here is the full orange-red torii Now the place I really want to go in Japan is the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. I haven't been to the Thousand Torii yet, so I just have to come here to have fun.
