Facing the Hakone-tozan Railway Tonosawa Station, it is known for being a rare Benten location, in that you can take a picture of both the mountain railway and the torii at the same time from within its grounds. It is said that it grants economic miracles, and that when you wash your money in the water on-grounds known as "Benten Yusui" it will increase it by several times; those from the financial world and merchants alike pray here. They sell Daruma dolls and amulets known for bringing luck at the shop in the station.
