Although this stone pagoda has the form of Hokyointo (three-tiered stupa pagoda), it can be identified as a Koshinto Pagoda (Koshin is a folk faith in Japan and its object of devotion is a deity called Shomen Kongo) because the description, 'The God above descended to this world, Shomen Kongo Myoo Pagoda,' is inscribed in front of its figure.
この石塔は宝篋印塔の形をしているが、塔身正面に「天上降臨青面金剛明王塔」と刻まれているため、庚申塔であることが確認できる。
