Many of ujiko (shrine parishioners) of the Tsukudo-jinja Shrine and Kanda-jinja Shrine (Kanda Myojin) do not visit the temple because legend says that those who visit the Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple cannot receive the protection of TAIRA no Masakado no miko, who is an Ubusunagami (guardian deity of one's birthplace).
築土神社や神田神社（神田明神）の氏子も、成田山新勝寺へ詣でると、産土神である平将門命の加護を受けることができなくなるとの言い伝えにより、参詣しない者が多い。
