Rebuilt in 1990 (1990) to commemorate the 330th anniversary of the enshrined shrine of Haji Shrine, the "Ceiling Ceiling Large Lion" is stored in the lion hall on the right immediately after passing through the shrine's torii gate. The lion head with golden teeth and beards on black skin is 2.4m high, 3.3m wide, and weighs 1 ton, and is overwhelmed by its size.
On the tongue of the Great Ceiling Lion, I thought about putting a skewer that wrote wish, and the Great Lion would swallow the wish and make it come true, so I tried it right away.
The wish skewer is placed on the table on the left, facing the lion hall. Let's put 300 yen in offertory box and write wish.

This is my wish skewer. I'm sorry for the benefit of this world (laughs).
※Incidentally, the image of deity of Himemei Ichikishima (Benzaiten) holding the quartz crystal is placed in the corner of the jewel of the "Otoguro Lion," which is enshrined facing the protection against misfortune ceiling large lion. If you want to participate in the virtue of increasing luck, don't forget to visit the tooth black lion!

When wish can write, then put the wish skewer on the lion's tongue. When you go up the stairs with scarlet rug as your shoes and turn from the left to the back toward the large lion.…

There was a basket to put a wish skewer in this way. I see, I don't put a wish skewer directly on my tongue. The requested skewers are prayed one by one at the "Shidentsuki Namisai" on the first day of the following month, stored in a special box, and then fired at the "Fire-fired Shinto ritual" held on the third Saturday of December.

Once you have finished your wish skewer, go down the stairs again through the corridor on the left or the original corridor (the corridor on the right) from the large lion. Passing through the left side of the large lion, I was able to see it from so close. Finally, do two bows and two beats, and the dedication of the wish skewer is over.

When I asked the shrine, both the evil ceiling large lion and the tooth black lion are basically open from 5:00 am to 5:00 pm, and you can see the figure directly. Visit in a quiet early morning, and then have a fresh seafood breakfast at Tsukiji Outer Market…That sounds good.
