About This Event / イベントについて
For a quieter hatsumode — the first temple visit of the New Year — Zoshigaya Kishimojindo is a beloved local choice. This is a Buddhist temple hall of Homyoji (not a Shinto shrine), dedicated to Kishimojin, the goddess of safe childbirth and child-rearing. While the mega-shrines draw millions, this centuries-old neighborhood temple draws a few thousand over January 1–7.
Food stalls line the approach during the first three days (Jan 1–3), and the temple sells New Year amulets (omamori) and hamaya arrows. The surrounding Zoshigaya streets are quiet enough for a peaceful New Year walk. It is 15 minutes on foot from Ikebukuro Station, so it pairs easily with a Sunshine City visit or a winter stroll through Toshima.
