raijuu 雷獣 Raiju, a Thunder Beast Monster
At the temple Daishooji 大聖寺 Daisho-Ji Around 1720 at a small shrine within the temple compound
there was a Raiju which could not find its way back to heaven.
The priest stuck a long pole in the ground to help it climb up.
When the officials heard the story,
they thought the temple must be blessed especially
and gave it a lot of land as special reward.

- quote
The temple was founded in 1181.
With the Suzuka Mountain Range in the background,
you can see tea plantations in front of you, Ise Bay in the distance,
and the view is spectacular as it is located on a hill 200 meters above sea level
that overlooks the Shima Peninsula, Kamishima, and Chita Peninsula.
It also has the prefecture's oldest temple bell (a prefecture-designated cultural property).
It is also famous as a cherry blossom viewing spot.
