Miyado Benten
A large rock and torii gate stand on the north-western shore of Lake Togo, near Shitori Shrine. This spot is called Miyado Benten, and it enshrines one of the Seven Benten of Miyauchi. Benten-sama is said to symbolize beauty and was once highly revered for bestowing wealth, wisdom, and long life. In the past, Miyado was an island, but over time, it became connected to the mainland. According to legend, a white snake served as the messenger of Shitateruhime no Mikoto, the deity of Shitori Shrine.
