Marishiten Shrine also known as Marishiten-do. It is a small temple that enshrines the Indian Goddess of Light known as Marishiten in Japanese. She is often depicted as either riding on a boar or in a chariot being pulled by boars, and in the grounds of the temple are many statues of wild boars.
I was told by locals that people go there to especially pray for good luck when gambling.
Be sure to visit the nearby Ebisu Shrine at the same time.
