Check out and go to Happiness Prayer Rock Tour ①Tateiwa

There are four large rocks on Suo-Oshima Island, which have been called "Happiness Praying Rocks" since ancient times, and are popularly known as "Happiness Praying Rocks" , which bring good fortune.
Let's visit each rock and tour the power spot for happiness.

The first rock is Tateiwa. It is made of andesite and is also called "Otokoiwa" (male rock) because of its rugged rock surface and size.
The hall on the side of the rock enshrines the Horse-headed Kannon, the Buddha of traffic safety, who protects the safety of people passing by.

Happiness Prayer Rock Tour ② Obiseki Kannon

The second rock is "Obiseki".
It is called "Obi-ishi" because there is a huge stone with the words "Namu Amidabutsu" dug on the right side of the small hall where the Thousand-Armed Kannon is enshrined, and there are stripes around this stone that look like a belt wrapped around it. It is famous for prayers for safe delivery, named after the Iwata obi of a pregnant woman, and is visited by many women.

Happiness Prayer Rock Tour ③ Iwaya Gongen

The third rock is Iwayagongen.
The third rock is "Iwaya Gongen" a huge rock with four large cedars tied with a sacred rope at its entrance in the middle of Mt.
In a gaping cave, Ku Kuuzo Bosatsu and Sanno Gongen are enshrined at the same time, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
In this cave, there is an old custom of islanders gathering on the third day of the New Year to roast rice cakes and eat them to pray for good health.

Lunch at Chidori Honten

Chidori Honten is known for its creative cuisine using the bounty of the Seto Inland Sea.
Please enjoy a variety of specialties unique to Suo Oshima, such as the old-fashioned taste of "simmered dishes straight from grandma", mandarin orange hot pot, and kagamizari of hairtail fish.

Happiness Prayer Rock Tour ④ Ganmon

The fourth rock is Ganmon. The erosion of seawater has hollowed out the rock, creating a hole in the rock, and you can feel the power of nature.
On the mountain behind Ganmon is the Tatsuzaki Kannon Hall, dedicated to the eleven-faced Kannon (Goddess of Mercy), which is said to be beneficial in preventing bad luck.

Return

We will return home, reflecting on our enjoyable trip based in Setonoututu.
