Inunakisan-Shipporyuji Temple.

I went for a short hike on Inunakisan today. 
The name Inunakisan "dog barking mountain" comes from an ancient tale of a dog protecting his master. The dogs master, a hunter, was hunting on the one mountain day when a giant snake began to stalk him.The dog attacked the snake and barked furiously at it and bravely sacrificed himself to save his master.
