History

This shrine on Bentenzan is rich with faith in Benten, the goddess of arts, and has long been the spiritual center for performers. We kitsune often see those praying for musical and theatrical improvement. Merchants also visit seeking blessing in commerce. As the goddess of water, music, and arts, she continues to receive countless prayers.
