Activity itinerary

Shinobazu no Ike Bentendo
  • 20m
A Buddhist temple dedicated to the goddess Benzaiten, located in Ueno Park. Praying to Benzaiten is said to grant good fortune in some specific fields, such as academic studies, arts, property, and relationships. Those same benefits could be reaped at Bentendo.
天台宗 東叡山 寛永寺 護国院.
  • 12m
This temple was built in the area between Ueno and Tabata. Specifically, it celebrates Daikoku-ten: the god of happiness and wealth
Tennoji Temple
  • 15m
Built next to the Yanaka cemetery, Tennoji is a temple rich in history for the Japanese religion. It is identifiable by the bronze statue of Buddha in front of the entrance, and a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy.
Chōanji
  • 15m
Built around 1669, it is another temple celebrating the seven gods of fortune in Yanaka. Specifically, the Choanji celebrates the god Senju Kanzeon Bosatsu.
Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street
  • 15m
Yanaka Ginza is a classic Shotengai: a traditional Japanese commercial district. Its peculiarity lies in the atmosphere it can convey. The presence of small antique shops and family-run commercial allows Yanaka Ginza to remain almost frozen in time.
Unkeizan Shushoin
  • 15m
It is the temple dedicated to Hotei: the god of luck, guardian of children, patron of fortune tellers, and god of popularity. He is depicted as a fat, smiling, bald man with a curled moustache. He always appears half-naked, as his clothes are not big enough to cover his enormous belly.
