Hozumi Hall is north of the main shrine. "Hozumi" refers to the Hozumi clan, which is linked to the Mononobe clan mentioned earlier. The Kozumi clan comes from the Hozumi family name and has carried on the rituals of the Ishikiri Shrine for many generations.

Ishikiri Shrine, referred to as the “God of Denbo,” is associated with the term “Denpo,” which denotes a secret method preserved by the Kozumi clan. In the Kansai dialect, “denbo” means “swelling” or “growth,” and many visitors come to the shrine seeking healing for cancer.

Hozumi Hall is typically closed to the public. However, there’s a treasure museum on the first floor that opens to the public several times a year. This museum features many sacred treasures owned by Ishikiri Shrine, so be sure to visit when you have the chance.
