On a clear day, you can enjoy a crisp view of Mount Fuji from this stage.
Benten Pond’s serene waters lie just below your line of sight. Spring cherry blossom petals and autumn leaves grant it a seasonal splash of color.

And during Setsubun, the symbolic last day of winter, it becomes a lively sanctuary. Men and women, young and old, gather for a yearly February bean-throwing ceremony.

Every bean is accompanied with a chant of “Fuku wa uchi,” meaning “in with the blessings.” Each bean represents a hope, a dream. A jolly place to see the changing of seasons.
