Actually, there is an event that is being held until February 26 2018, named "Kofu Dousojin Matsuri". In this event, you could see a lot of ornaments that were being used to mark "Hey, this place is being protected by the Gods" back in the old days.
I wrote back in the old days, but actually there are some regions which still do it even until now, and that is including Yamanashi Prefecture.
A lot of ornaments were used, and the ones that really got my eyes were "四神 Shijin" which literally means Four Gods; and "The Three Wise Monkeys".
