十二天様 Juni Ten Sama，十二天神 Juni Tenjin
The hokora 祠 small shrine for the 12 Ten deities is at the foot of a pine tree on the pass. The villagers call it Juni Ten Sama.
In 1937, due to the construction of a dam, they had to be relocated from the estate of 青柳ロクロウ Aoyanagi Rokuro to its present location. When the workers had to open the shrine they found a snake wound around a human skull.
In 1959 during 伊勢湾台風 the Isewan Taifun the shrine was blown away, and even the munefuda 棟札 amulet from its roof was lost.
The villagers held a meeting to decide what to do about it, when 青柳光平 Aoyagi Mitsuhira told them he had seen a dream where 12 snakes were wound around a human skull.
The next day they all went out to search again for the roof amulet and indeed, they found it.
Now they could reconstruct the small shrine for it.
