最福寺, Buddhist temple in Kagoshima, Japan
Saifukuji Temple features a monumental wooden statue of Benzaiten, measuring 18.5 meters in height and residing within the Shion Hall.
Established during the Muromachi period over 500 years ago, the temple maintains its connection to Shugendo religious traditions through generations of leadership.
The temple conducts daily goma fire rituals from 12:30 to 14:00, where priests perform sacred ceremonies involving the burning of wooden prayer sticks.
The temple opens its doors from 9:00 to 17:00 and can be reached within 10 minutes by car from JR Hirakawa Station on the Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line.
The main deity, officially named Kiyoike Ugabenzaiten, receives affectionate recognition from local residents who refer to it as 'Mother Benzaiten'.
