Located in Kiyone, Soja City, this shrine is known as "Oppai Shrine" and is dedicated to the goddess of milk. It is famous for its votive plaques with breasts on them, which are said to encourage breast milk production.
Founded in 1678, this shrine has been worshipped as the "Goddess of Breasts" due to the weeping cherry tree "Tarichine no Sakura" (Tarichine Cherry Blossom) that once stood within its grounds. Even today, many worshippers visit the shrine praying for safe childbirth, breastfeeding, and recovery from breast-related illnesses. The worship hall is filled with handmade votive plaques (votive plaques) shaped like breasts.

Ema are traditionally hand-made, and unique to this shrine, they are shaped out of cloth or clay and then offered as offerings. For those who find crafting difficult, "votive plaque making kits" are available for purchase at city facilities (¥2,000 per set).

There is no permanent shrine manager. Ema are not sold at the shrine; they are available at the Sun Road Kibiji National Guest House and other locations.

There is no dedicated parking lot. There is a small parking space next to the torii gate.
