[2023-01-09] Toka Ebisu Festival Happy New Year! Although by the time you read this it's probably already well into February... It took me a while to get through the picture backlog. Anyway, I didn't do anything in particular for New Year, but I did end up going to a meetup with some online friends in Kyoto. Since my days off are usually on the Sundays and Mondays, I often stay for the night to do some fancy traveling in Kyoto on the Monday. As it turns out, there happened a festival on this very weekend: the Toka Ebisu Festival. In fact it was my mom who informed me about this. Thanks mom! To summarize shortly, the Ebisu is the god of prosperity. For good luck, people buy fortune bamboo grass to provide luck for the year. At the same time, lucky charms of the previous year are collected and burned at a later date. I google'd which shrines are most popular for this event and ended up going to three: Imamiya Ebisu Shrine, Nishinomiya Ebisu Shrine and Yanagiwara Ebisu Shrine. However, Imamiya was mostly just a very, very large crowd in line for the bamboo. I sat that one out to buy some anime merch at Nipponbashi instead. Nishinomiya Ebisu Shrine lies in between Kobe and Osaka, and already from the station there were stalls lined up all the way to the shrine. Guess I'm skipping out on dinner tonight. One food I'll highlight is hashimaki: the name sounds interesting, but it's quite simply fried batter wrapped around chopsticks. My favorite stall food remains the good old yakisoba (fried noodles). I'm not spending my money on bamboo grass anyway... Though I will take a shrine seal stamp of both Nishinomiya and Yanagiwara for my collection. #今宮戎 #西宮戎 #柳原えびす #十日戎 #十日えびす #imamiyaebisu #nishinomiyaebisu #yanagiwaraebisu #tokaebisu #japanphoto #pixel6pro https://www.instagram.com/p/CozVfJLLg21/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First day of Toka Ebisu Festival today. Very different atmosphere with no street stalls lining the road. Usually from Hyogo Station all the way to Yanagihara Ebisu Shrine you can enjoy a great festival atmosphere with excellent street food, games and more. Hopefully next year it will be back. #lovehyogo #hyogojapan #visitjapan #visitjapanau #兵庫 #explorejapan #truekansai #explorejpn #traveljapan #projectkobe #japanrevealed #photo_jpn #visitjapanjp #photo_japan #bestjapanpics #ig_japan #japanfocus #photo_travelers #japan_of_insta #special_spot_ #visithyogo #mybestjapanmoments #kobecity #tokaebisu #lovekobe #神戸 https://www.instagram.com/p/CYgmJfulm5E/?utm_medium=tumblr
