@There is a still, little temple facing
Kumano Road . Nobody knows when it was founded
.The main image of Bishamonten (the god of
welfare) was said to have been worshipped
at a temple in Enotsu district The district
was such that we could have often seen from
the Nara to the Heian era and it was situated
from here toward south , to the northern
part of Sakai City .There is a big stone
lantern in the precincts .The surface of
it is worn out but we are able to find an
inscription made on March , hinoe -ne in
the third year of Kenmu (1336 ) , so the
lantern was designated as one of the important
works of art, According to a theory, the
lantern was contributed by Kusunoki Masashige
, who was born owing to his parent's prayer
to the god worshipped in the temple .
