Organized by the Kamisuga Project—known for hosting lively car-free Sundays every other month—the 'Profitable Tori-no-Ichi Fair' draws many repeat visitors each year. Held on the first Tori-no-ichi Festival day at Washi Shrine, visitors buy decorated bamboo rakes believed to bring good fortune, with their names and wishes inscribed on plaques. A highlight is the energetic hand-clapping ritual as participants lift their rakes high, hoping to 'rake in' luck. After receiving a blessing, attendees enjoy the autumn foliage at Washi Shrine, making for a festive and auspicious experience. Even if you're just curious, come soak up the atmosphere!
