What is Seya Hachifukujin?
There are various theories about the origin of the Seven Lucky Gods, but it is said that Ieyasu Tokugawa adopted the religion of the Seven Lucky Gods, and in the late Edo period, people began to visit the Seven Lucky Gods in search of good luck.
In Seya Ward, since the New Year 1984, Bodhidharma was added to the Seven Lucky Gods to each temple, making it a rare "Seya Hachifukujin" in Japan.
