First visit in 2024 ⛩🐉🎍

Happy New Year! It's been a tough time since the beginning of the year, but how are you all doing? After watching the first sunrise in Choshi, my first shrine visit of the year was to Ikisu Shrine, one of the three major shrines in the eastern part of Japan. I went to Ikisu Shrine ✨ It is one of the most powerful spots in the Kanto region ☺️ I went there around the evening of New Year's Day, and there were a fair number of people, so I had to line up for a little while 😌 You can get a handwritten goshuin ❤️ ⛩Benefits of Ikisu Shrine-----------------------------The main deity, Kunato-no-kami, is the deity of warding off evil, inviting good fortune, and protecting traffic, and is also the deity of wells 🥰 There are also two wells called Shinobu-choi, which are counted among the three sacred springs of Japan ✨A small torii gate is built inside each well, and at the bottom there are two bottles called "Ogame" and "Megame", and it is said that they have been gushing pure water for over 1000 years 👀 -------------------------------------------------The fortune slips also had very good things written on them, so it was a wonderful start to the year 🫶Thank you all for your continued support this year 🙌 Spot information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📍Ikisu Shrine 🗺Address: 2882 Ikusu, Kamisu City, Ibaraki Prefecture, 314-0133🚗Access: 8 minutes by car from Omigawa Station #TokyoTourism #IkusuShrine #FirstVisitOfTheYear #ShrineStamps #ShrineTour
