The octagonal temple hall was designed so visitors can worship Benzaiten from any direction, and its striking eight-sided shape mirrors the eight arms of the goddess enshrined within.
The main deity statue has eight arms holding different weapons to fight evil, earning it the name 'Happi-Benzaiten' (Eight Elbows Benzaiten) - the only female among Japan's Seven Lucky Gods.
The temple was built to recreate Lake Biwa's Chikubushima Island - part of monk Tenkai's grand plan to model all of Ueno after Kyoto, making the pond a miniature replica of Japan's largest lake.
Shinobazu Pond, once known as the 'Pond of Release,' hosted Buddhist ceremonies that freed water birds, turtles, and fish as acts of compassion. Stone monuments to these animals still stand on the grounds today.
