Divine Favours  (御利益 Goriyaku):

This is one of four shrines I visited in Matsumoto-shi, the second largest city in Nagano-ken. It is another shrine about which little information is available. As with Seitaga Shrine it is merely listed on the Nagano Jinjacho home page, no information is given.

Note that Ota-Mikoto is usually thought to be a descendant of Saruta-hiko, although another school of thought has it that the two names refer to the same Kami.
