✎In 1822 (1822), the god of water, Ryuhime Ogami, was founded as a dragon shrine. After that, a white snake appeared on Tsukuda Island, and the islanders worshiped as a dragon god and worshiped in the town. In 1838 (1838), the shrine was located near a workshop where fishermen's nets were boiled in a Shibugama, and was easily affected by fire heat. In 1839, it is said that the deities of Daibenzaiten at Nihonbashi Shirakiya were too large and could not be carried away, and they were enshrined together.
Today, Ryu Shrine and Daibenzaiten are collectively called "Ryuo Benzaiten", and they seem to be revered as a god with the gods of good luck, rising fortune, thriving business, fulfilling academic achievement, performing arts, and healing of illness.
I hear that many people came to visit this day because fair in Benzaiten is the Day of the Snake.
