Japan's Three Great Benzaiten Temples 【Hogon-ji Temple, Chikubushima】 Daibenzaiten Paper-Cut Goshuin (Temple Stamp) - For Improved Luck, Wealth, and Fortune ※ This paper-cut goshuin uses thick paper. 【Details】 Hogon-ji Temple on Chikubushima Island, along with Enoshima (Enoshima Shrine) and Miyajima (Itsukushima Shrine), is one of Japan's Three Great Benzaiten Temples. It is the oldest of the three and is therefore called "Daibenzaiten" (Great Benzaiten). Due to the Meiji government's separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the main hall of Hogon-ji Temple was moved to Chikubushima Shrine. However, the two are now operated in a combined Shinto-Buddhist manner, with Benzaiten enshrined in both Chikubushima Shrine and the adjacent Hogon-ji Temple. The enshrined deities of Chikubushima Shrine are the following four: Ichikishimahime-no-Mikoto (Benzaiten) Ugafukujin Ryujin (Dragon God) Azaihime-no-Mikoto (Ubusunagami, the local deity) The spirits and priests from Enoshima Shrine in Sagami and Itsukushima Shrine in Aki were welcomed to Chikubushima Shrine, and the "Three Shrine Benzaiten Festival" was held jointly. Only here at Chikubushima Shrine are the spirits of the three Benzaiten enshrined together. ※ 2025 is the Year of the Snake, which occurs once every 12 years. It is a year deeply connected to the "snake," the divine messenger of Benzaiten. In this special year, you can receive boundless blessings and benefits for wealth, performing arts, and wisdom.
