Revered as a Kannon for Safe Childbirth and Child Rearing

Tourinji Temple, enshrining Une Ebisu, one of the Chichibu Seven Lucky Gods, is a Soto Zen temple founded in 1651. It is affectionately known as "Une's Ebisu-sama" by the locals.
Originally, Ebisu was a god of fishing, but over time, he came to be revered as a god of business prosperity and abundant harvests. Une Ebisu at Tourinji Temple is believed to be particularly efficacious, and the gentle-faced Ebisu statue enshrined in the Ebisu Hall within the temple grounds welcomes visitors.
Every year on October 20th, the temple holds the "Ebisu-ko" festival to express gratitude for a year of safety and to pray for abundant harvests, bountiful catches, and business prosperity. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the temple grounds provides spiritual comfort to visitors.
For those who wish for business prosperity and abundant harvests, Tourinji Temple's Une Ebisu is a place of spiritual solace.
