Kôshin-Dô
"Kôshin" is a kind of folk faith, which used to be very popular in Yedo Era (1603-1867). Its origin is a Chinese custom related to Daoism, but the meaning was entirely changed through its mixture with Buddhism in Japan. See here for detail about Kôshin.
Anyway, as the result of been being popular, there are so many Kôshin-Dô or Kôshin-Dzuka in all around Japan.
There is a small temple, and are some small stones to symbolize the Kôshin faith. In the temple there is a wood statue of Shômen-Kongô, the god of Kôshin, in the temple. This is open to public only once per 60 years.
