Down in a valley in a solitary Maruyama (丸山) hamlet, a small wood of shrine floating in a tea field. In the wood, a new shrine is surrounded by standing stones like Shirayamahime Jinja shrine.
A shine gate (34.02087N,134.15646E) standing on the road side far from the shrine's wood has also accompanying standing stones.
