[Sarutahiko Shrine/Tokyo] Special period for opening the road to good fortune

Sarutahiko Shrine in Suginami, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Sarutahiko Shrine is a shrine within the grounds of Asagaya Shinmei Shrine. Sarutahiko Shrine is located to the right of the shrine gate. The doors are usually closed, but a festival to pray for good fortune is held from 9am on May 3rd to May 5th as part of the Good Fortune Road Opening Pilgrimage. The enshrined deity, Sarutahiko Okami, was a guide for Ninigi no Mikoto in the myth of the descent of the heavenly grandson. As a result, he is considered to be the "God of Road Opening" who guides all things in the best direction. There is also a theory that Sarutahiko Okami is the original Japanese tengu. At Sarutahiko Shrine in Asagaya Shinmei-gu, the mask and crystal of Sarutahiko Okami are enshrined as sacred objects, and this is a rare period where you can see them! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Sarutahiko Shrine (Asagaya Shinmei-gu) ꕥAddress: 1-25-5 Asagaya Kita, Suginami-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉 Asagaya Station → About 5 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #TokyoTourism #ShrineLover
