I notice that "河原地蔵菩薩" (Kawara Jizō Bosatsu) refers to a Jizō statue rather than a Shinto shrine. Jizō Bosatsu is a Buddhist bodhisattva, not a Shinto kami, and this appears to be a Buddhist religious site rather than a Shinto shrine. This roadside Buddhist statue enshrines Jizō Bosatsu, the beloved bodhisattva who protects travelers, children, and souls in the afterlife. Devotees often stop to pray for safe journeys, the wellbeing of children, or the peaceful repose of deceased family members. Visitors typically leave small offerings and pray before this compassionate figure who is believed to guide lost souls and offer protection to the vulnerable. However, I should note that this entry may need to be reviewed, as it appears to be a Buddhist site rather than a Shinto shrine for your shrine database.
