Details on the individual Seven Lucky Gods/Shichi fukujin can be found here. Many localities in Japan have groups of seven shrines or temples in each of which one of the seven kami of the shichi fukujin is enshrined. Miyata (Japanese books #26) identifies 119. It is the custom to try to visit each of them in the first few days of the new year.
