BUSINESS MEETING WITH THE BUSINESS GOD

A late night business meeting? Left the office at 11:30pm, and arrived at Japan's second most important shrine, Atsuta Shrines' Ebisu Shrine just after midnight on the 5th for the annual prayer to the God of Commerce, Ebisu. In the shrine grounds was a huge fire where the charms of the past year are burned, and new business good luck charms are sold. Tell you what, the shrines make sure that return business is good!
Posters within the shrine grounds reminding visitors to get their good luck charms and lucky business talismans at Hatsu Ebisu.
