New Year's Day new year worshipping 2019

[Daruma] 18:00 on January 4, 2019

On New Year's Day, I visited Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods. Perhaps it is the land, the gods of entertainment, business, fortune, and academic work are there. The biggest crowd is Mizutengu. January 1 The Dog Day and the birth rush overlap, so it's very crowded. We carefully visited four companies that liked the elderly.

Last year, 2018 was the year of catastrophe, but what about this year? On New Year's Day, I met Yurikamome on the calm Sumida River and met at Tsukiji Honganji, the light was shining under the blue sky. Following the manners of the temple, I visited for the first time and received a card for the New Year's book [light], General Manager Yasunaga.

We will head to "Namishi Inari Shrine" outside Tsukiji venue. A god who protects the Tsukiji area as a wave-breaking Inari, which was founded about 350 years ago, was difficult to reclaim the Tsukiji area, and survived the waves, except for disasters. It was a long line. It is about 15 minutes on foot from here on the Sumida River Terrace, and was founded in the Heian period and is the god of the Kyobashi area "Tenbosu Shrine". <Nirei 2 beats 1 bow> (right ↓ photo) at Asama Shrine subsidiary shrine of "Fujizuka" which was a place for worship of Fuji in Edo.
