[Saiwai-cho Benzaiten/Chiba Prefecture] One of the Kashiwa Seven Lucky Gods

Saiwai-cho Benzaiten in Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture

𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃
A shrine that is one of the Kashiwa Seven Lucky Gods.

"Oichi" married into a sake wholesaler where Benzaiten was enshrined.

The devout Oichi never missed a daily visit to the shrine. Benzaiten appeared in Oichi's dream and told her that she wanted to save all living beings in the east, and that is how the shrine was enshrined in its current location.

The grounds are very small, but there is a Benzaiten with a heart-warming face.

Flowers are displayed beside the shrine building, and even though it was unmanned, they also have goshuin stamps available!
