Katchaman’s Amazing JAPAN guide at Nara Power Spot (Sacred Place) “Tenkawa Jinja - Tenkawa Daibenzaitensha in Summer[夏の天河大辨財天社・奈良県]

I can recommend Daibenzaitensha as a sacred place in Japan.

Tenkawa-dai-benzaiten-sha is located in the center of Japan’s spiritual heartland, the Kii Mountain range, this shrine is filled with sacred energy emanating from the dense forest on the holy mountain Omine-san with No admittance to woman. Since the shrine’s principal object of worship, sheltered at the top of Mount Misen (alt. 1,895 m), is Benzaiten, the goddess of music and fine arts, many artists regularly perform concerts dedicated to the spirit. These attract considerable attention.
