The Zeniarai Benten Shrine is a hidden gem in Kamakura, Japan, nestled atop a steep hill. The climb may be a bit challenging to some, but the enchanting shrine and its surroundings are undoubtedly worth the effort.

This is a famous temple because inside it there is a path for washing money as a sign of economic prosperity for the future. The ritual is very interesting, it was nice to have tried it! The water god, Ichikishimahime no Mikoto, is enshrined here. I recommend the visit, worth it.

Wonderful and beautiful shrine that is a must to go and see. The walk from the train station is worth it. Beautiful place that from the entrance captivates your senses transporting you to a magical realm hidden in time, where you have an incredible sensation of tranquility serenity and harmony with nature. One is simply captivated by seeing such a place in the modern world.

Very popular so not that peaceful but people seem to enjoy the story about washing money bringing wealth. 🤷🏼♂️ The walk there is nice as you see some surroundings.
