Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Jinja

Zeniarai Benzaiten is famous for its very unusual practice of washing money in pure sacred spring water within a cave. It is said to have begun when the deity Ugafuku Myōjin appeared in Minamoto no Yoritomo's dream and told him, "If you wash money in this water, it will return to you many times over." The interior of the cave is filled with a mystical atmosphere, and many worshippers place money in baskets and purify it in the sacred water. This shrine, visited by people from throughout the nation seeking improved fortune with money, is truly a sacred site for wealth and prosperity.
