Benzaiten at the pilgrimage Suitengu Shrine
The Arima family of the Kurume Domain has a strong religion of Benzaiten for generations, and Hosho Benzaiten, one of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tours, is enshrined in the precincts of Suitengu Shrine.
It is known that during the Edo period, when Yorinori Arima competed with Kaga feudal lord for the skills of Hosho-ryu Nohgaku, he applied for Benzaiten and worked hard to practice, and gained a wonderful victory.
It's gaining popularity if it has a connection with performing arts and benefits for academic work and fortune.
The fifth of every month is fair in Suitengu Shrine.
Above all, the 5th of the new year is called "Hatsusuitengu" because it was the first day when you could visit the god of Suitengu during the New Year, and it is still very busy today.
