Susaki (Suzaki) Jinja / 洲崎神社
(Also know as the Hiroi Tennoh 広井天王　or Gozu Tennoh 牛頭天王)

Enshrine Susano-no-mikoto 素戔嗚尊 and Ishigami 石神.
(Ishigami deity was enshrined together in Meiji 45, 1912.)
Before Nagoya Castle was built, the present complete area of Sakae 1-chome was the Susaki Shrine's yard.
However the Horikawa Canal was made in order to carry construction materials to build the castle
and built houses for samurai in the shrine yard, its territory became very very small.

Ishigami is a goddess, Tamayorihime-no-Mikoto 玉依姫命 and Emperor Jinmu's mother.
It has been believed that Ishigami goddess makes women's wishes come true, at least one.
