JAPAN - TOKYO FOR FREE: The Tour of Fortune 3/8 - Benzaiten - Hoshuin - success and wealth
Success in life and wealth! Discover here the third hidden sanctuary of the 7 GODS OF FORTUNE.
Hoshuin is a Benten-do (弁天堂): a Buddhist temple dedicated to the Goddess Benzaiten (also called Benten), patroness of success in life and acquisition of wealth.
Located since 1685 in Shiba Park (behind Zojo-ji Temple), it has a precinct that creates a comfortable space shaded by trees with the Byakuren (White Lotus) pond in the middle of the park.
Besides the vermilion Benten-do, there is a hall housing a two-meter wooden sculpture of Great King Enma (閻 魔 大王 Enma Dai-Ō), the deity who judges the dead and decides who goes to Heaven or Hell, or returns to Earth.

JAPAN - TOKYO FOR FREE: The Tour of Fortune 4/8 - Fukurokuju - Tenso - wealth health and longevity
Happiness, wealth, health and longevity! Discover here the fourth hidden sanctuary of the 7 GODS OF FORTUNE.
Tenso is a Shinto shrine, near the lively Roppongi Crossing, dedicated to Fukurokuju, patron of happiness, wealth, health and longevity. His name is in fact composed by happiness (FUKU), wealth (ROKU) and longevity (JU).
He is affectionately regarded as the God Inari (one of the main Shinto deity) by people working in commerce and the restaurant business.
The name Ryudo-Shinmei-gu inscribed on the large stone pillar means dragon light, because legend has it that a dragon flew from Edo Bay every night to set a votive light while the shrine was being founded.
