Suitengū (Tokyo)

Suiten-gū (水天宮), literally "Palace of the Water Deva", or "Palace of Suiten", is a Shinto shrine dedicated to four deities: "Suiten" is the Japanese name of the deity of Hindu origins Varuna, one of a series of Hindu deities whose worship entered Japan together with Buddhism.[note 1]. When the Japanese Empire enforced the Shinbutsu bunri, the official separation of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, shrines celebrating Suiten identified their dedication to Amenominakanushi.[4]
