The god Goshintoku is widely known and worshipped as a patron of sericulture and of prosperity in many fields like agriculture, engineering, and business, and as a guardian of travelers.
When autumn comes to the area, the bright autumn leaves dyed deep vermilion capture the minds of tourists who come to worship. There is a stone torii at the entrance of the approach, and as you proceed farther, a red torii midway.
In addition, there is the sacred Minehari cherry tree, said to have been planted in Kanko 7 (1010), which makes a commemorative photo spot for tourists.
