The Tori-no-Ichi Festival is a traditional event held every November on the 'Day of the Rooster', where people pray for good fortune and prosperity in business. The shrine grounds are filled with lucky bamboo rakes and beckoning cat figurines unique to the festival, creating a lively atmosphere with energetic calls and rhythmic hand clapping. The rakes, believed to 'rake in good fortune', are a signature lucky charm of Tori-no-Ichi. There will be stalls offering original and elaborately decorated rakes from the shrine. The festival is an opportunity to give thanks for the past year and wish for more good luck in the year ahead. Experience this vibrant winter tradition for yourself. <First Festival: Saturday, November 7, 2026> <Second Festival: Thursday, November 19, 2026>
