Located in the Ehime Prefecture, not Kagawa, is the Shōryū-ji temple which has a similar name, Kashiwaya-taisha which enshrines the Kashiyama- no-Kami. However, I was unable to find information about a shrine called 楠大荒神 in Kagawa. The name "楠" refers to a type of tree and could be associated with the Japanese walnut (Gyunko or Castanopsis sieboldii). The word 'Big' likely denotes importance. This shrine may have historical roots tied to a specific tree or wood. For more accurate information, please consult local sources.

To appreciate the natural surroundings of this shrine, take a short walk through the nearby forest and admire the unique Japanese walnut trees.
文化的背景
The association with trees may tie back to Shinto traditions of nature worship. The concept of 'Big' could refer to importance or longevity associated with the tree in local folklore. Local myths might include stories about a tree that provided important wood for construction or spiritual purposes, but more research is needed.
