Visiting Seven Deities of Good Luck walking tour in Ikegami Ohta Ward is available to tourist who is awaiting transfer in Haneda Airport. This tour will take about five hours from Haneda Airport or three and a half hours from Kamata Station.
This tour is walking and visiting seven temples that enshrine different kind of guardian gods. Most of Japanese enjoy this kind of tour without religious meaning but just entertainment. Although temples are all Buddhism in this tour, some other 'Visiting Seven Deities of Good Luck' include Shinto Shrine. Buddhism was imported to Japan from India passing through China and Korean Peninsula in the 6th century. Japan became centralized state and legal code state in the early 7th century. The government at that time used Buddhism to control Japanese society. The constitution was based on Buddhism. This thought lasted until middle of the 19th century.
The place where we are visiting is called Ikegami. The most important temple in this area is Ikegami-honmon-ji temple. The temple is one of the 7 most important temples of the Nichiren sect. Nichiren is a sect of Buddhism.
Each seven deities has each different divine favors. Why don't you enjoy walking and getting seven luck. And complete a shikishi (a square of heavy decorated paper for writing poem, motto and others) by yourself.
