Many worshippers visited Kishimojin, and a large number of teahouses, restaurants and souvenir shops were lined up in front of the gate. Among the souvenirs, the most famous were pinwheel, lions made of straw and owl dolls made of the bundle of ears of Japanese pampas grass. It is said that the "Kakubei-jishi" made of straw and sold at Kishimojin were toys imitating a child's figure wearing a lion's head.
