【Origin of Bentenjima and Promenade】
Restrooms available as an ancient island (also known as Giant Sea Bream Island) crossed the bridge from the Coast, and was connected to the land by the estuary construction in 1967 (Showa 42). At the top of the ninety-nine stone steps, Itsukushima Shrine (a branch of Miyajima in Aki, Hiroshima Prefecture) sits, and the name of the God of worship is enshrined in the life of Ichikishima Hiyori (Hime), and Ōkami is deeply worshipped as a Buddhist deity and as one of the pillars of the Seven Lucky Gods. Therefore, since ancient times, it has been nicknamed "Bentenjima" and "Benten-san" to the present day.
On this Benten Island, Ubamegashi (also known as Bame / Beech family), which is rare in Japan, grows in clusters and is designated as a towns cultural property.
Promenade of about 200 Rice has been built around the island, and visiting visitors enjoy strolling while looking at Suruga Bay.
