This deity is known as the god of good health, longevity, and abstinence from alcohol. He was a great lover of alcohol, but a fire broke out while he was napping, and it was extinguished by the small birds that rained down a drizzle. From the legend that Sugihokowake no Mikoto refrained from drinking alcohol after this incident, he came to be enshrined as a god who protects against abstinence and misfortunes caused by alcohol. The custom of "Torishojin/Shuseishin" (abstaining from eating birds, eggs, and alcohol between December 18th and December 23rd each year) is said to cause a fire if neglected, and it is a custom that continues to be practiced locally even today. In addition, this shrine has a giant camphor tree called the "Sugihokowake no Mikoto Jinja no O-Kusu," which is said to be over 1,000 years old and is designated as a national natural monument. 【Condition】 This is an unopened and unused charm purchased from Kawazu Konomiya Shrine.
