Pray to a giant, luck-bringing statue

Nakanotake-jinja Shrine, located at the foot of Mt. Myogi, is known for its 20-meter tall statue of Daikoku, a deity of wealth and luck. The 8.5-ton figure, which clutches a sword, is considered a rare depiction of the deity, who typically holds a mallet.

People come to the temple to pray to ward off disease, misfortune, and evil spirits while welcoming in good fortune.
