We pray for healing from diseases below the waist and safe childbirth.

This stone statue of Jizo has been enshrined in this lake since ancient times, connecting sentient beings with the Buddha. One day, he stood in old man Yashichi's dream pillow,
``I am Jizo Bodhisattva of Gozaura.'' ``Those who pray with all their heart will be cured of diseases below the waist.I have a place where I can soak in seawater, and I will always wash away sufferings on behalf of all people.'' Don't move me anywhere."
