Masako was deeply devoted to the Benzaiten of Chikubushima in Lake Biwa. She enshrined a branch spirit on this coastal island, founding Biwajima Shrine as a sub-shrine of Seto Shrine to pray for maritime safety and the prosperity of Kanazawa.

In 1180, Yoritomo enshrined the deity of Izu Mishima Taisha at nearby Seto Shrine to guard Kanazawa's sea routes. Masako's founding of Biwajima Benzaiten reflects the same spirit of shrine devotion that Yoritomo championed.
