Oushiko Shrine

Oushiko Shrine is a Shinto shrine located on the slopes of Hōden Mountain in Takasago City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The shrine enshrines a massive stone structure known as the "Stone Hōden" (石の宝殿), revered as the shrine's sacred object of worship [1]. Oushiko Shrine is historically classified as one of Japan's "Three Mysteries" (日本三奇), together with Shiogama Shrine's salt cauldron in Miyagi Prefecture and Kirishima Higashi Shrine's Heavenly Reverse Halberd in Miyazaki Prefecture [1].
