There is a small shrine of Kannon(=Guanyin) on the roadside, behind the shrine 3 flat stones are erected on one of which some Sanskrit were inscribed later. These stones were believed to be the capstones of dolmens, now supposed to be the fragments of some cist stolen from some burial mounds.
'Nerenoki' is a unfamiliar word, it may derived from 'Nire-no-ki(elm tree)' which might have stood in a vast precinct of the shrine's precinct now destroyed by the crossroad.
