Goshogozen

More than 1,800 years ago, the legendary empress-regent Jingū is said to have encountered the three deities of Sumiyoshi Taisha in Kyushu. After the meeting, she traveled around western Japan looking for a place suitable to build a shrine to them. When she arrived at this spot, the three deities descended from a tree growing here. Empress-regent Jingū ordered the construction of a shrine around the tree. Upon her death, she, too, was enshrined as a deity at Sumiyoshi Taisha.

The go in Goshogozen, meaning “five,” refers to five kinds of blessings that are conferred by the deities: health, wisdom, wealth, happiness, and longevity. Pebbles inscribed with the character for “five” (go, 五), “large” (dai, 大), or “power” (riki, 力) are scattered among unmarked stones at the site. Anyone who finds one of each can take them home. A set of stones is believed to help make wishes come true. If a wish is fulfilled, the custom is to return the stones to Goshogozen, along with another set of three stones from the person’s home that are inscribed with the go-dai-riki characters. Symbolically, the believer is giving back twice what was received.

五所御前

據傳1800多年前，神功皇后在九州遇到了住吉大社的三位海神。於是她巡遊日本西部，想尋找一個適合為祂們建立神社的地方。當她到達這裡時，「住吉三神」從一棵大樹上降臨，神功皇后便下令在這棵樹周圍建造了一座神社。皇后去世後也被奉為了住吉大社的神祇。

寫有「五」、「大」、「力」字樣的鵝卵石和其他普通的石頭一起散落在五所御前的地面上，如果找到它們就可以帶回家作為護身符，因為「五大力」指的是神明賜予的五種力量：體力、智力、財力、福力和壽力。授予所或楠珺社有販賣護身符外袋，將三顆小石頭裝入袋中隨身攜帶就能如願以償。如果願望成真，許願者須從自家附近找三塊鵝卵石，寫上「五」、「大」、「力」後，和之前帶回家的三塊石頭一起送回五所御前，表示所得福運加倍奉還。
