Yotuji~Mituji~Araki Shrine~Honden
Yotuji(四辻)
Going down from Yotuji to Mituji, taking route via Araki Shrine back to Honden.
Mituji to Araki Shrine
From Mituji to Araki Shrine, you will pass through a street lined with various shrines such as Koshigami Fudosha and Toyokawa Shrine. For some reason, there are many black and white cats. Cats looks so tired because of the hot weather in summer. It seems that cats have become the messager of god instead of foxes in these area.

*「口入」:人の縁を結ぶ仲人のことで、縁結びの縁起物。
