Description

Fukunokami Daikokuten in the Ozato area of Aso is a stone image discovered underground in 1995 during landscaping near a historic grave associated with Kato Umanojo. The image is estimated to be approximately 350 years old, dating to the Edo period. It is cherished for its unusual appearance, seated on rice bales and seeming to count lottery slips with both hands. A small shrine is said to have been built to house it in 2000. Visitors now pray here for financial luck, business success and health. This outdoor place of worship is featured in Aso City's official tourist information and can be visited year-round.
