What visitors say
It enshrines one of the largest life-sized statues of Hachibu Benzaiten (eight-armed Benzaiten) in Tohoku, allowing visitors to worship in a serene atmosphere. Newly renovated coin-washing facilities and purification areas have been added, along with scenic views featuring wisteria trellises. While popular on social media, it becomes extremely crowded around the end of the year and on Snake days, so visitors should be mindful of parking availability and waiting times.
