[2025 Kamakura Attraction] Travel Guide for Zeniarai Benten Shrine (Updated Jul)

There are many temples and shrines in Kamakura, including Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, but this shrine, which is said to bring good fortune, is particularly popular with worshippers from all over Japan. The landmark is a stone monument engraved with Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine. Go through the tunnel at the back and you will arrive at the shrine grounds! Receive a colander at the shrine office and pray at the main shrine. Entering the cave next to it, there is a place where spring water called Zeniarai water flows! It seems that it is okay to just wet the edges of the bills a little, but since I was there, I put them in the colander to thoroughly purify them! At this shrine, where the god of water, Mizuhanome-no-kami, is enshrined, the fortune slips are water divination, and you dip them in water to see your fortune📃. The fortune slips were different from usual and were fun🥠. I pray for better luck with money✨lol. 📍2-25-16 Sasuke, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. 🕰️8:00-16:30. 🚃About 20 minutes walk from the west exit of Kamakura Station. #Domestic travel #Kamakura sightseeing #Kamakura trip #Zeniarai Benzaiten #Ugafuku Shrine.

To be honest, it seems a bit suspicious that washing money will increase it... but when I actually went there, my wish changed. When you hear "improvement of financial luck," you're skeptical. But Zeniarai Benten Shrine, quietly located in the depths of Kamakura, is not just a power spot. It has a history dating back to the Kamakura period, the experience of actually purifying money, and an atmosphere that makes your heart feel lighter. We have summarized five charms and trivia about this "shrine that mysteriously makes you feel positive" that only those who have visited can experience. ⸻ 1. [A unique experience of "washing" money] It is said that if you wash money in the "zeniarai water" that springs up in the shrine grounds, you will find good fortune wherever you spend it, and it will come back to you. The experience of actually putting coins and bills in a colander and washing them is a little out of the ordinary and fun, and makes you want to make a wish. 2. [A historic shrine founded by Minamoto no Yoritomo after a dream] Founded in 1185. It was founded by Minamoto no Yoritomo after he received a prophecy in a dream that he should pray for peace throughout the world. It is a historic spot with a history of over 800 years. 3. [The official name of "Zeniarai Benten" is surprisingly long] In fact, "Zeniarai Benten" is a nickname, and the official name is Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine. This god, "Ugafukujin", is worshiped not only as a god of wealth but also as a god of food and fertility. 4. [A mysterious space that spreads beyond the cave] The shrine building, which can be reached by passing through the torii gate and going through a rock tunnel (cave), is like a hidden other world. You can experience the feeling of stepping into the boundary between reality and myth. 5. [It's not just a place to wash money, it's a place to reset your luck] The idea that you should not save the washed money, but rather "only use it to receive benefits" is unique. The teaching that money = energy and circulates is a philosophy of financial luck that is still relevant today. ⸻ 🧳 Summary It's not just a place to pray for better financial luck. Zeniarai Benten Shrine is a shrine that mysteriously makes you feel positive, as if it washes away the fatigue of the past and the anxiety of the future. Not only will you lose money, but your heart will also become lighter -- why not try a trip like that in Kamakura? #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Kamakura #DomesticTrip

📍Location Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine Address: 2-25-16 Sasuke, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture Features: Legend has it that if you wash money with the spring water of the shrine here, your money will increase. This is a very famous shrine for attracting wealth! ⸻ 🚆Transportation (from Inamurazaki Station) 1. Take the Enoden from Inamurasaki Station back to Kamakura Station (approximately 10 minutes) 2. Walk to the shrine from the West Exit of Kamakura Station (about 20 minutes, with a slight slope on the way) Or you can take a taxi (about 5 minutes, about 700 yen) Tips: You will pass through residential areas, a short uphill section and a tunnel during the walk, so it is recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes. That tunnel is quite mysterious! ⸻ 📝Personal experience This shrine is really a different world. Before entering, you will pass through a tunnel that looks like a cave. Once you walk in, it feels like you have come to another space, with a wonderful sense of tranquility. Although it is a fortune-making shrine, the overall atmosphere is actually very quiet and peaceful, and it does not feel commercial. When I was using the bamboo basket to wash the money, the sound of the spring water was flowing next to me. At that moment, I suddenly felt that no matter whether the money would increase or not, my heart seemed to be washed first. After laundering the money, the sun just happened to shine on the shrine garden. I felt that the magic of Kamakura lies in such details. This is really the kind of place that will leave an impression on you once you visit it, no matter whether you believe it or not. I recommend you to try washing money yourself! #AprilDestinations2025 #JapanTravel

#TokyoItinerary #TokyoFreeTravel #TokyoSuburbs Kamakura is one of the three ancient capitals of Japan and is only an hour's drive from Tokyo. If you want to buy some Kamakura souvenirs, you can go to Komachi-dori Shopping Street to get a lot of them (Figure 1). Since Kamakura is rich in silver carp, you can see many famous dishes featuring silver carp on Komachi-dori (Figure 2). Ugafuku Shrine (Figure 3) is located in the mountainous area northwest of central Kamakura. Going up the slope, you will see a torii gate and a man-made tunnel in front of a cave on the cliff. This is the entrance to the shrine. You can borrow a bamboo sieve for laundering money at the community office. After purchasing candles that are meant to shine in the dark night and incense sticks that are meant to ward off evil spirits (Figure 4), you can head to the main hall to make offerings and pay your respects. The inner palace is located in the cave in front (Figure 5). Comic fans must visit the Slam Dunk level crossing in front of Kamakura High School, and of course, don't forget to visit Enoshima to enjoy the tranquil and beautiful sea view. Enoshima (Figure 6) is a small island located southwest of Kamakura City and connected to the mainland by a bridge. It is famous for its beautiful sea views and rich marine activities. Enoshima Shrine (Figure 7) is a shrine dedicated to the god of the sea and attracts many pilgrims. Enoshima Lighthouse (Figure 8) offers spectacular sea views, especially at sunset. Rock House (Figure 9-12): This is a natural cave with beautiful rock formations and sea water inside. If you are lucky, you can also see Mount Fuji (Figure 13). #Register for March Hotel Test Sleeper 2025

Today's trip to Kamakura left me completely satisfied, especially the visit to Ugafuku Shrine, where I felt a divine blessing. The atmosphere of the shrine brought me an inexplicable peace. I tossed a coin onto the offering table, silently making a wish, hoping for the protection of Ugafuku. Afterwards, I decided to try Kamakura's famous treat—the Great Buddha Cookie. This cookie is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a sweet and delicious filling that makes it hard to stop eating. Each bite releases an aroma and sweetness that seem to tell the history and culture of Kamakura. At the end of the day, I returned to Kamakura Station. At sunset, the station became particularly lively, with many tourists gathered around, all waiting for their return trains. The sunset painted the sky in brilliant shades of orange and red, making the station's scenery look dreamlike. Watching the sunset from the window, my mood grew even happier. Although the train car was crowded, the bustle brought a sense of warmth. I knew that today's trip to Kamakura would become a cherished memory, and I look forward to visiting this charming place again.

Once upon a time, on the night of the snake day in the snake month of the snake year, Ugafukujin appeared in Yoritomo's dream and told him, "If you offer this water to the gods and Buddha, the world will be at peace." Yoritomo followed this and built a shrine and worshiped it. Since then, the belief that washing coins in this sacred water will make you rich has spread, and even today there is a constant stream of worshippers who wash their bills and coins in a colander (^^) [Location] 2-25-16 Sasuke, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture [Access] Approx. 18 minutes on foot from the west exit of Kamakura Station Approx. 21 minutes on foot from the exit of Wadazuka Station Approx. 22 minutes on foot from the exit of Kita-Kamakura Station #0 Yen Trip January 2025

It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kamakura.

Put the money in a colander and sprinkle 3 cups of water to clean the coins. However, it is said that the washed money will become a lot, so not only the coins but also the banknotes should be cleaned. It seems that you can increase your wealth by cleaning your coins. #ChristmasDestinations2024

Senarai Benzaiten-Ugafuku Shrine located in Kamakura is a shrine that brings good fortune. The entrance is located in a cave and is very mysterious. After passing through the tunnel, you will pass by a row of connected torii gates. When you enter, you will encounter the sales department of the shrine. In addition to the guards, they also sell worship packages (including special incense, candles and bamboo basket rentals) After taking incense and paying homage to our company, you can start laundering money! The process of money laundering is as follows: After visiting the Oku Palace, put the money on the borrowed bamboo sieve, use a ladle to scoop out about 3 ladles of spring water and pour it on the money (coins and banknotes are acceptable, but remember to prepare a handkerchief or toilet paper to wipe the banknotes!) Egg worship is also offered here because it is said that the snake god Benzaiten likes to eat eggs. Before and after washing, you can go for a walk around the area and pay homage to Kaminomizu Shrine/Shimomizu Shrine and the Seven Gods of Good Luck. Your journey to seek wealth is complete! Remember to wipe the money dry and then spend it to bring good fortune~ After getting off the bus at the station, there are road signs along the way ~ don’t worry about getting lost. #100 kinds of travel #dopamine travel #Kamakura #Kamakura attractions #古财神社 #Ugafuku Shrine

#FuriTabi Kamakura City Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine⛩️ It is said to have been founded by Minamoto no Yoritomo, and is a shrine that brings good fortune and wealth. Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine is said to increase your wealth if you wash your money in Zeniarai water, one of the five famous springs in Kamakura, which springs here. I also tried washing money☺️ ① First, buy a candle and incense set for 100 yen at the shrine office and borrow a basket. ② Then visit the main shrine and wash your money at the inner shrine at the back of the shrine grounds. ③ Take the washed money home with you. The washed money is called Fukusen, and it is said that it is good to let go of the purified Fukusen as soon as possible☺️ I also recommend the Mizu Omikuji, which has characters that appear when you dip it in the water of the dragon god🙂 Zeni-arai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine is about a 25-minute walk from Kamakura Station. If you think you're almost at the shrine, you'll end up climbing a steep hill, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. It was my first experience washing money, so it was fun😊 I hope I get more~🥰 If you're interested, please go and check it out. —————————————————————— 📍Location: 2-25-16 Sasuke, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 8:00-16:30 #mayu✈️trip🇯🇵 #DomesticTravel #100TravelStyles

\\God of fortune// At Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine, a popular spot that you can't miss when sightseeing in Kamakura, you can enjoy a special visit that is a little different from the usual. You wash your money in the pure water of one of Kamakura's famous springs and pray for an increase in your fortune. It seems to get quite crowded during the day, so this time I visited at 8:00, the opening time. There were already a few groups of visitors, but I was able to visit at my own pace. It's about a 25-minute walk from the west exit of Kamakura Station, but there is a long uphill climb to the shrine, so comfortable shoes are a must. If you are a group of two or more, it's convenient to take a taxi just for the trip there. It took about five minutes by car. It was a wonderful shrine that I'm glad I went to.

Rather than keeping the purified money, you can return it to the shrine by taking it to the market, so we recommend using it wisely! ️ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine ꕥAddress: 2-25-16 Sasuke, Kamakura, Kanagawa ꕥAccess 🚉Kamakura Station → 🚶‍♀️About 18 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Kamakura #Zeniarai Benzaiten #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Kanagawa sightseeing

I got off at Kamakura Station and went to visit some shrines. First, I went to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, which is said to be the god of military fortune. I felt like the energy was flowing through the shrine, which was very beautiful and refreshing. After that, I walked down Komachi-dori to Ugafuku Shrine, also known as Zeniarai Benten in Kamakura. This shrine has a custom of "washing money," and it is said that the money you wash will come back twice as much, making it a power spot for increasing your fortune. Inside, there is a colander, and you put your money in the colander and wash it with Zeniarai water. You can take the washed money home with you. Actually, I got off the train to wander around Kamakura, and didn't know about Zeniarai Shrine. . I arrived there while walking. It is a very famous shrine in Kamakura, so I would like to go there again. I hope everyone will go there too. #KanagawaTourism #Kamakura #KamakuraTrip
