In the past, the valley ahead of this road once housed several five-story pagodas that stand as gravestones. People gathered these pagodas to make a shrine and then enshrined the Buddha Vaisravana (Bishamon).

Though Bishamon-dō Temple is located at the outskirts of the village, back when there were more people on Chiburijima Island, the dwellings of farmers and their crop fields stretched up ahead on this path. There are fields today, but none of their crops are sold in the market. There is only enough to feed the households that grow them, and if there happens to be extra, they share it among themselves.

The fence, by the way, is meant to ward off tanuki.
