It is written in "Guide to Famous Spots of Edo" that during the Edo period, this was a place that commanded views second to none. For example, visitors could gaze at the deep blue sea to the east, watch the morning sun rise from behind the mountains of Bōsō, and see a snow-capped Mount Fuji reflected in Tamagawa River. The principal image of Haneda Benzaiten was a work by Kōbō Daishi (Master Kukai) and this was also the principal image of Benzaiten in Enoshima.
