History
Originally venerated as a Michizukami (path god) at the entrances and exits of roads, this deity became associated with Kōshin faith due to the character 'monkey' in its name. Since then, festivals have been held every 60 days on Kōshin days, attracting devotees who believe that 'disasters will depart' and 'happiness will arrive,' reflecting the monkey motif.
