Zenkokuji Temple, a Nichiren sect temple.
It is known as a good luck spot because Bishamonten, the god of wealth, is enshrined here.
This historic temple was founded in the early Edo period, and has a beautiful garden within its grounds. In spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the temple is bustling with visitors. Strolling through the temple grounds amid the fluttering pink and white cherry blossom petals is a wonderful experience that can only be found in Japan.
The highlight of Bishamonten Zenkokuji Temple is, without a doubt, the main hall. The massive main hall was built in the early Edo period and is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. A statue of Bishamonten is enshrined in the main hall, and it is said to bring good fortune in business prosperity and safety in the home.
This shrine is a historic one where Tokugawa Ieyasu is said to have prayed for good luck during the Edo period. Within the shrine grounds, there is a rare three-legged torii gate, and it is also known as a power spot.
Even if you don't know how to pray at a shrine, you can purify your hands at the chozuya (purification fountain) located at the entrance of the shrine, throw your offering into the offering box, and then pray in the following order: two bows, two claps, one bow.
