Go by boat to the power spot Mount Kinka in Miyagi!

This shrine was built in the 8th century and is said to bring good fortune. You can see the ocean and sometimes you can encounter wild deer. Gold was first produced here in Japan, and the governor of Mutsu Province offered it as an offering. To celebrate this gold production, Kinkasan Koganeyama Shrine was built to enshrine the guardian deities of gold, silver and treasure, Kinka-san Biko-no-kami and Kinka-san Bime-no-kami, on the beautiful mountain of Kinka. During the Middle Ages, when Shinto and Buddhism were mixed, Benzaiten was enshrined here and the temple was called Kinkasan Daikin-ji Temple, which attracted many believers as one of the five great Benzaiten temples in Japan. It was also one of the three great sacred sites in the eastern and inner regions, and 48 temples were built, making it a spectacular sight. It is said that if you visit the temple three years in a row, you will never be short of money for the rest of your life.
