Nishihara Village

Yurigaike Shrine (Nishihara Village)

It was in the nature near Moe-no-sato. Legend has it that the name of the shrine became well known not only in Japan but also abroad after a local resident was cured of a footache that had troubled him with water from this shrine, although the water dried up after the Kumamoto earthquake. Today, the shrine enshrines two deities, Lord Nojin and Benzaiten.
