In this chapter, I'd like to introduce some stone spirits at Goshokomagataki Shrine.
A stone spirit named “Ishio-san'' was on display at the Takaku family residence during the Doll's Festival in Makabe Town in 2023.
In chapter 279, I introduced the Takaku house, but unfortunately, on the day of our visit, the Takaku house was not open, so I couldn't meet "Ishio-san".
Here, I'll show you some stone spirits in order of face type, lantern type, and animal type.
① From now on, I will go to meet the stone spirits while admiring the autumn leaves. I’m excited.
② This is a statue of “Ishio-san”.
③ This is a stone spirit with a face.
④ This is a stone spirit with a face.
⑤ This is a stone spirit with a face.
⑥ This is a stone spirit with a face.
⑦ Is this a stone spirit with a face?
⑧ I'll Introduce a stone spirit in the shape of a strange lantern.
⑨ This is a stone spirit in the shape of a strange lantern.

㉕ I guess it's a beckoning cat.
㉖ Lastly, I'd like to introduce a mysterious stone spirit.
㉗ I don't know what kind of animal it is.
㉘ According to the shrine staff, this is the most popular stone spirit.
㉙ This is a close-up photo.
㉚ We've returned to the first torii gate.
㉛ Some ducks from the rice farm are taking a walk.
※ Duck farming is an organic farming method in which ducks are released into rice fields to eat pests and weeds.
㉜ Dahlia imperialis (grove dahlia, Dahlia imperialis) are blooming.
㉝ I am in front of the Unshu mandarin orange trees. There is no frost in this area, so it is the
northern limit of mandarin orange cultivation.
㉞ These are Makabe clan's 40 Gorinto (五輪塔, or, five-ringed stupa, or tombstones), which are collectively designated as a historic site by the prefecture. They are at Henshoin Shotokuji (遍照院正得寺), which is next to Goshokomadaki Shrine.
