Marishiten Tokudaiji Temple in Taito Ward, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Marishiten was worshipped by military commanders as a war god, and along with Hachiman Daibosatsu, she became popular as the guardian deity of samurai. Tokudaiji Temple was founded by Jikoin Nikken Shonin during the Kan'ei era. Marishiten is served by a boar, and there is a boar statue in the temple grounds. She is the "boar of strength" that gives energy, physical strength, and financial strength to those who touch her. For this reason, boar days are Marishiten's festival days, and it is believed that visiting on these days will bring special benefits. There is also Jyogyo Bosatsu in the temple, who washes with purified water and a scrubbing brush. It is believed that washing the same part of your body as you are will cure your illness or injury. It is also said that it can clear away any impurities in your heart, so it is definitely something you should try praying to your hands. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥTemple name: Marishiten Tokudaiji ꕥAddress: 4-6-2 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess 🚉 About 3 minutes walk from Okachimachi Station ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Temple tour #Temple #Ueno #Ueno sightseeing #Power spot
