More info

Enshrines Ugajin, a syncretic deity combining the Buddhist Benzaiten with the Shinto serpent god of water and agriculture, representing the flow of wealth and good fortune. Worshippers visit to pray for business prosperity, agricultural abundance, and protection from financial hardship, as Ugajin is believed to control the circulation of wealth and resources. The shrine serves as a spiritual center where the boundaries between Buddhist and Shinto traditions blur, reflecting Japan's historical religious syncretism.
