Inside the hairpin turn of the Atagoyama sightseeing road leading to Atago Shrine, there were shrines of Jido Shrine and Oyamazumi Shrine. "There was" is because it has already disappeared, and it seems that it was destroyed when the new observatory was constructed. On the back side (west side) of the shrine, there was a memorial monument for Toyokichi Hamuro, the founder of Meinohama Coal Mine, but the monument has been maintained and still exists. According to the materials of Fukuoka City, this is in a special green area conservation area, and even if it is private land, permission from the mayor is required to cut down trees and modify structures, but the person in charge of the city is processing the permission. However, the mystery of the story remains. (← As a result of a survey request to the city at a later date, the answer was that the city was specified incorrectly, but doubts remain.)

　Oyamazumi Shrine was built as a guardian deity of the safety of the Nagihama coal mine, but the head office of Oyamazumi Shrine, which is about 11,000 nationwide, is Iyo no Kuni (Ehime Prefecture) Ichinomiya Oyamazumi Shrine, and Oyamazumi Ogami (Konohanasakuyahime). The father of the god) is enshrined. Since Oyamatsumi is a mountain god, there are many places where it is enshrined in relation to mines.

The source of Kui-do Shrine is unknown.
