On December 28, last year, we introduced "Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour" (sponsored by Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi) and reported on the day of the event (January 4). The day was blessed with warm weather, and the reception started a little earlier than the scheduled time, and received a set of "participation ribbon, participation form, route map", and started pilgrimage. According to the organizer, about 8,000 participants are planned.
It took about an hour and a half to go around eight companies from Koami Shrine to Takarada Ebisu Shrine on the route map and the guide of staff standing at key points. Every shrine had a line of worshipers. At Sugimori Shrine on the way, each of the commemorative gift vouchers (2 pieces) distributed was stamped. In addition, Ozu Washi, which was the end of the pilgrimage of the eight companies and reached Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, was a teahouse and a paper entry place, and many people used it as a rest area.
Finally, we brought a stamped participation form on the roof of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, the end point, and received a zodiac Ema-type Tenugui. In addition, we also brought the participation form to Yamamoto-noriten opposite Mitsukoshi, and had a zodiac small plate as a souvenir.
I enjoyed the "Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour" under the warm sunshine.
