It is said that the rock is surrounded by vermillion lacquered Tamagaki (a fence around a shrine), and is worshiped as “Shinseki” (God Stone) during the era of feudal government. The rock is a grey-brown tuff and its root is deep, extending far out, from its located to Neshiroishi of Izumiku in Sendai City.
