Awaji Island's Seven Lucky Gods! Gokokuji Temple and Hotei

This is one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Awaji Island. It enshrines Hotei, the god of character development and wealth. He is affectionately known as Hotei-san, but he is said to be the only deity modeled after a real-life monk. Behind Gokokuji Temple is a garden designated as a Hyogo Prefecture Historic Site, Place of Scenic Beauty, and Natural Monument. It is a magnificent and beautiful garden. Be sure to take a stroll through it. It's a recommended tourist spot.
