Dosojin, Traveler's Guardian God

This website is operated by a government licensed tour guide and a certified domestic travel service supervisor in hope of wonderful experiences for tourists visiting Japan.

Dosojin is a traveler's guardian god.  Many stone statues have been enshrined on roadsides throughout Japan since ancient days in order to wish for safe travel.

One of the greatest haiku poet, Matsuo Basho, started his travel around the Tohoku district, the northern part of Japan, in the 17th century, beckoned by the guardian spirits of the road (Dosojin).  During this travel, he wrote a very famous travelogue, "Okuno-hoso-michi" ("The Narrow Road to Oku").
