Kashikobuchi Spider Stele

Moli Lizhi (茉莉茘枝) via Google Maps

Perched quietly along National Route 48 overlooking the Kashikobuchi river pool, this forgotten monument honors the legendary spirit known as Myōhō-gumo-no-rei. According to local folklore, a cunning eldritch spider once lurked beneath the abyss, outsmarting fishermen and clashing with giant eels while being revered as a deity of flood protection and commerce. Today, the weathered stone marker offers an atmospheric stop for intrepid travelers intrigued by Japan's eerie yōkai lore and obscure local mythology.
