Inugami Kijitsukuri no Yashiro (Shingen-ji) is a temple dedicated to the Buddhist protective goddess "Kijitsukuri no Kami," who blesses mothers and children. It is also one of the temples in the "Shitaya Seven Lucky Gods," worshiping the "Fukurokuju" trio, who ensure the safe growth of children and bring prosperity to people. Every year, from July 6 to 8, it hosts the famous "Inugami Morning Glory Festival." The festival is a summer event filled with Edo-period charm.
