Information about money at Chanogi Shrine in Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods
Visiting the Seven Lucky Gods around the shrines in Nihonbashi, it takes less than an hour and a half and is gaining popularity.
The start of the pilgrimage to Shichifukujin is Koami Shrine. The second is the Chanogi Shrine. And next is probably due to the good position of Suitengu, a small shrine, but worshipers are constant.
Especially at this time of life, many people may wish for the well-being of the world, and the votive board with the name of the votive is almost full. It's a merit to give money to offertory box. But he said, "Isn't it possible to get a stronger virtues by offering separately?"....」。 I understand, that feeling. So, I asked a difficult question, "How much can you put it on the votive board?"
It is stated that it is dedicated to more than 3500 yen on the day of the first day festival.
During the Tokugawa period, when this shrine was located in the Nakayashiki of the Shimousa Sakura (now Chiba Prefecture) Hotta family, it was open to the public only once a year on the day of the first day festival. For this reason, they still hold a festival at the early noon of February every year, distribute amazake, and offer tea.
At that time, they recruited votives, put votives over 3500 yen on the votive name plate, and those who are between 500 yen and 3500 yen are given towels, bills, vermilion seal stamp, or more.
"However, this year (2021) was canceled at the first noon due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and no new contributors were recruited," "The bell and hishaku were removed for safety reasons."
Let's visit at the first noon festival of Chanogi Shrine in February next year to get Hotei's smiling smile and happiness.
※Dedication without mentioning on the nameplate is solicited all year round.

This shrine was located in the residence of the Hotta family in Shimousa Sakura (now Chiba Prefecture) during the Tokugawa period. A round-cut tea tree was planted around the shrine turf, and the greenery of the turf and tea trees was wonderful, so it came to be called Chanogi Shrine . The god of the festival is Kura Inatama Oga, a Fushimi-based Inari.
Since no fire had occurred not only in the mansion but also in the surrounding towns for many years, it was praised as protective god against fire outbreaks, and the Hotta family opened it once a year only on the day of the first noon festival.
It was in 1985 that Hotei-son was enshrined at such Inari Shrine. Hobukuro-son, a real Zen monk in Tang dynasty, China, who is said to be the incarnation of Amida Buddha, has a large belly filled with the world's cleanliness, and is praised as a god who carries many treasures in a bag and carries good luck to people.
