History

Standing beside the pristine waters of the Uji River, Hashidera Hojoin serves as a sanctuary for Benzaiten worship and commercial prosperity. Since ancient times, merchants and traders have sought its blessings for thriving enterprises and financial abundance. The temple's practice of releasing life reflects the Buddhist principle of compassion for all sentient beings.
