Ebisu for Prosperity and Daikoku for Good Fortune

Located in Hakata Ward of Fukuoka City, "Toka Ebisu Shrine" is a historic place of worship with a legacy of more than 430 years, venerating "Ebisu," the deity of prosperity, and "Daikoku," the deity associated with harmonious connections. Every year from January 8 to 11, the "New Year Grand Festival" draws over one million visitors from across Japan, creating a lively atmosphere as travelers seek the shrine’s auspicious offerings, including sea-bream-shaped omikuji and distinctive ema plaques. In October, the shrine hosts "Daikoku-sai," an interactive cultural festival featuring limited-edition goshuin, traditional craft workshops, and dedication performances by contemporary calligraphy artists active throughout Kyushu and Fukuoka, offering memorable experiences for guests of all ages.

The shrine’s seasonal, limited "Double-Page Goshuin" has gained wide popularity, especially the auspicious "Fukuokoshi" design depicting Ebisu’s gentle smile and a daruma with large, lucky ears. This special stamp is associated with blessings of good fortune and prosperity. It is available only for a limited period and concludes once supplies run out, making early visits particularly valued.

First held in 2025, the event transforms the approach to the shrine into a lively promenade lined with kitchen cars and seasonal vendors, offering traditional craft workshops and a range of limited talismans such as matchmaking charms. It provides a rich array of autumn experiences inspired by the benevolent qualities of Daikoku.
