Hodohora Konsei-sama
A sub-shrine on the grounds of Hodohora Inari-jinja Shrine that honors a Shinto fertility god. Since it is located in the hills behind Tono High School, you need to climb a trail through the woods for about 15 minutes to reach it. Tradition says it was built by the Asonuma clan. It has nine phallic symbols carved of stone and another nine carved of wood. They are said to symbolize fertility and family prosperity. It's believed that a visit here will bless the worshiper with children and make her immune from women's diseases.
