Kanto Santengu

...The Tengu faith is popular, symbolizing the supernatural powers of the prodigy who is said to have accompanied Amaterasu, and there is a large Tengu mask with a face length of 5.5m and a nose height of 2.7m. It is one of the three Tengu of the Kanto region (the others are Mount Takao and Kobugahara), and is said to have miraculous powers for silkworm farming and business prosperity, so hundreds of thousands of religious organizations visit the shrine every year. In summer, it is a good hiking course and many climbers visit.
