Mount Jinpuku Hosshi-kudokuhon (Sutra mound #19）
Sutra mound #19. Mount Jinpuku lies to the west of Chihaya-toge Pass, which connects the cities of Gojo and Kawachinagano. On the mountaintop, you’ll find a sutra mound and two mini shrines. Boundary stones mark the sacred area around the sutra mound. Three ancient bronze mirrors were unearthed near the sutra mound. The mini shrine nearby is affiliated with Satao-jinja Shrine of Mount Takama (the ancient name of Mount Kongo). The mini shrine is also dedicated to a rain-making deity and a guardian deity of Daitaku-ji Temple at the foot of Mount Jinpuku. To the west is the other mini shrine, colored vermillion, where three deities are enshrined and worshipped as local mountain gods.
