Nara Kasuga Taisha wishes prosperous business `` Toka Ebisu '' January 10 13:14

At the Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara City, the "Toka Ebisu" was held in hope of thriving business for one year, and it was crowded with many people.

Kasuga Taisha's Toka Ebisu is held on January 10 every year at the Saraki Shrine, a precinct for Ebisu. In Nara City on the 10th, the weather was calm with blue skies, and locals and others visited the shrine one after another in the morning.

Visitors received free leaves and bought lucky charms in the form of oval and bright red ties, and were tied to a fortune girl by wearing a golden ebony and white costume.

And when he had his bell ringed above his head and gave blessings from the Fukumusume, he prayed for business prosperity for one year.

A self-employed man in his 60's said, "I like the atmosphere of the Kasuga Taisha shrine and come every year. I wish for prosperous business and home security."
