In the past, it was said that when measles were prevalent, passing under the Nio Guardian's legs could make the measles mild. This tradition has led to the designation of the 'Wooden Statue of Kongo Rikishi (Nio Guardian)' as a prefectural treasure. Every year, many families gather to wish for their children's healthy growth. At the venue, there are sales of items such as rice cakes, handmade beanbags, and traffic safety goods.
