Said hello to Daikoku sama at Daienji Temple. ”Daienji 大円寺 Founded in 1624 and purportedly the flashpoint of the 1772 Great Gyonin-zaka Fire, this small temple offers an amazing array of gods. In addition to being able to collect your stamp or figurine of Daikoku (the god of wealth, farmers and the kitchen), you’ll also find statues of all seven lucky gods, several Jizo figures, the three monkeys of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” fame, and, inside the temple, a life-size Buddha. Just in front of the main temple is a statue of a seated Nyorai Buddha with an interesting function: rub gold leaf onto the part of his body corresponding with the part of your body that’s ailing you, and he’ll relieve your suffering. At this point in your pilgrimage, perhaps that would be your feet.” metropolis.co.jp/travel/travel-features/yamate-seven-lucky-gods-walk/ 大円寺さんで大黒様にご挨拶。 七福神も！
