Traveler highlights

Toika Ebisu Shrine in Hakata, Fukuoka, enshrines Ebisu and Daikoku, deities associated with fishing and good fortune. Tradition says that in 1591 Heijuro Kamiya found two Ebisu statues on Kashiihama beach. After his fortunes prospered, a shrine was built at the spot the following year. The shrine moved several times before reaching its current site in 1929. Its grounds are small, but the annual January New Year festival fills the area with activity, including lucky draws and a geisha procession. Visiting during the festival offers a glimpse of local customs for praying for good fortune.
