Strangely shaped rocks “Meotou Ishi”

Located at the entrance of Tennozan Park. The black granite symbolizing men is a huge rock with a circumference of 10m and a height of 5m. There is a rock symbolizing a woman nestled next to it, and its placement is quite funny. Regarded as the god of marital harmony and the god of creation, many men and women come from all over the country to worship.
