Fukutoku Shrine (Mebuki Inari) is a power spot located in the commercial district of Nihonbashi, Tokyo. With a history of 1000 years, this shrine was first established during the Jogan era (859-876). It is dedicated to Ukanomitama-no-mikoto, and Benzaiten, gods of good fortune; making it a perfect match for Nihonbashi's economic hub. Visitors come to pray for good luck in lotteries and well as prosperity, health, wealth, safe travels, marriages and more. The premises are protected by guardian foxes with one carrying a jewel, and the other with a key. Just next to the shrine is Coredo Muromachi, adding a beautiful shopping and entertainment experience. With its convenient location and cool offerings, Fukutoku Shrine is a great place to stop by when visiting the buzzing district of Nihonbashi.
