On January 4, 2017, I went to the 32nd Mitsukoshi Main Store Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour.
The sponsorship is Nihonbashi Shichifukukai, the sponsor is Chuo-ku Tourism Association, and the cooperation is Yamamoto-noriten, Ozu Washi Museum, and Tokyo Commodity Exchange.
At the description of each shrine and Seven Lucky Gods on the back of the map we received, there is an explanation of the building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, which is different from last year. The explanation is
"In 1908, it became Japan's first department store with a Western-style Renaissance-style three-story building, and since then it has been expanded and renovated with the highest technology of the Japanese architecture, and was completed in 1935 as the second largest building after the National Diet Building and Marunouchi buildings, and in May 2016 it was designated as a national important cultural property."
Visit the eight shrines and take care of the zodiac signs that you have received to commemorate your worship.
At Yamamoto-noriten, I was very grateful to have a zodiac plate.
Mitsukoshi and Yamamoto-noriten stood on the path to each shrine, and were kindly guided along the path.
At Ozu Washi Museum, I was very happy to have tea entertainment. In addition, a young lady I met during my English study responded with a smile and purchased the recommended "Ozu Glasses Cross + Eitaro Candy Set, and a mask with soft moisturizing function".
I was confident that I could spend a healthy year without having to catch a cold.
