This mountain is dedicated to Kumaou Inari, the guardian deity of the prosperous business of Oiso-juku.
Kumaou Inari of Myowa-ji is a branch of Kumaou Daizenjin, which was enshrined in the precincts of Ankokuronji Temple in Matsubagayatsu, Kamakura, in Myowa-ji. It is said that a part of the good material of the five-storied pagoda of Ryuko-ji Temple, the site of the Nichiren sect, was rebuilt at the Kumaou Inari shrine of Myorin-ji Temple, which was destroyed by fire.

March Spring Equinox Day September Autumn Equinox Day Spring / Autumn Higankai Honor
This world with a lot of suffering is called "Konogishi". On the other hand, the world of relief away from the opposite suffering is called "Higan". It was an event to memorialize the spirits of ancestors by combining the Buddhist idea of leaving the world of desires and reaching the state of enlightenment with the traditional Japanese ancestral memorial service.
The equinox is held twice a year, on the spring equinox day in March and the autumn equinox day in September.
There are various theories as to why the equinox day is held on the spring and autumn equinox days. Since the sun rises from the east and sets to the west in the spring and autumn equinoxes, the theory is that there is pure soil there and the memorial service is performed. There are various theories, such as the theory of performing a memorial service.

Early November Oeshiki memorial service
The memorial service held around October 13th, which is the anniversary of the death of Nichiren Saints, is called the "Oeshiki".
On the anniversary of the death of the great saint, the ceremony is a memorial service for gathering with the Danish believers, chanting sutras and themes, and re-engraving the teachings of the great saints in their hearts.
At the oeshiki, a tower-like mando will be displayed in the precincts, and artificial cherry blossoms will be displayed in the main hall.
This is due to the fact that on the day the saint Nichiren died, the cherry tree leaning against the saint bloomed out of season.
