[Taito Ward, Tokyo] The shrine where Tori no Ichi festival originated ⛩️

Otori Shrine in Senzoku, Taito Ward. This shrine is famous as the birthplace of Tori no Ichi, and the entrance is decorated with a magnificent rake, which is unique to Tori no Ichi (there are various theories about the origin of the festival), which is a harvest festival and a thanksgiving festival. 🛐 The big red torii gate is impressive! Although the grounds are not very large, it has an imposing presence. Please make a wish with a Kanawashi, not an ema. 😁 In addition, a goddess called Nade Okame is enshrined here, and you can stroke the part of the goddess depending on what you want to grant. 💡 Taito Ward is an area with many shrines and temples. This place is a little far from the main station, but you can stop by while sightseeing in Asakusa, so if you have the chance, please visit it✨ Visited: February 2024 [Address] 3-18-7 Senzoku, Taito-ku, Tokyo #FreeHongKongAirTickets #Japan #Tokyo #Taito-ku #Senzoku #Asakusa #AsakusaTourism #Shrine #Washijinja #ToriNoIchi #Okame #Tradition #Rake
