About this Shrine

A Shinto shrine dedicated to Daikokuten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin) in Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism. Daikoku is revered as a deity of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune, often depicted carrying a magic mallet and standing on rice bales. The shrine serves as a place for worshippers to pray for financial success, bountiful harvests, and general prosperity.
