Divine Favours  (御利益 Goriyaku)

Fire Protection (火防守護, Kabo Shugo)

Continued luck in the fortunes of war (武運長久, Buun Chokyu)

Overcoming a difficult situation (難局打開, Nankyoku Dakai)

At the risk of sounding repetitive I have to say that this is another Sugiyama shrine about which little is known. Even its name seems unclear. While the hengaku (扁額), the board showing the the shrine's name hung in front of the prayer hall, gives the name as Sugiyama-Gu, the Shingaku (神額), the board  bearing the shrine's name and hung at the top centre of the torii, gives the name as Sugiyama Jinja. 

As with Sugiyama-Sha,  it is  mentioned in the Shinpen-Musashi-Fudo-Kiko. Its location is given as Kamihoshikawa Village, Tsuzuki-gun; while the first two kanji for the latter,  都築郡, are the same as those in the current Tsuzuki-ku, the location is different, the shrine is not located in Tsuzuki-ku. The shrine is described as being in the east of Kamihoshikawa Village. It was given Village Shrine ranking in 1873 and was rebuilt in 1923.
