Miroku-ishi Stone
After crossing Gobyobashi, there is a black Miroku-ishi stone 30 centimeters in diameter in a small shrine. People can put their arms through the small window and try to push the stone up to the other shelf.
The stone is originally said to connect people with Miroku Bosatsu (Maitreya, the Buddha of the future). But nowadays this stone is said to feel light by good persons and heavy by bad persons.
