Bentendo Temple

弁天堂

👀 SEE

A small temple to Benzaiten (goddess of mercy and luck) on an island in Shinobazu Pond — reached by a short bridge through the lotus field. Quiet pocket in the middle of Ueno Park that most visitors walk past.

Type temple, island, hidden spot
💡 Local tip
  • Summer lotus bloom (July–August) is the peak — the island sits in a sea of pink blossoms.
