Ishibotoke (Shiobotoke) Jizoson

Stone Buddha that appears at low tide. 
Prayers are offered for the healing of illnesses from the waist down, safe delivery, etc.

This stone statue of the Jizo (stone statue of Buddha) has been sitting on this beach for a long time, making Buddhist connections with sentient beings. One day, he stood in the dream pillow of an old man named Yahichi and said, "I am the Jizo Bosatsu of Gozaura, Those who pray with all their hearts will be cured from the waist down. I have a place where seawater is immersed, and I am always willing to wash away afflictions for the sake of others. Do not move to a higher place." Since then, people suffering from illnesses from the waist down, those wishing to have children, and those praying for easy childbirth, etc., have prayed for their respective wishes.
