[Tokyo] Annual egg distribution🥚

●Name Hie Shrine ●Access 〠 2-10-5 Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 🚗Use nearby parking ●Points I've been to Hie Shrine a few times to pray It was the first time I've seen so many worshippers, and I was surprised January 28th is a day of great fortune, which only happens a few days a year It was a good day to do anything, but more than that, it was the day for the annual distribution of "Daikan eggs" 🥚 It's apparently a blessed day when eggs born on Daikan, January 20th, are distributed Eggs born on Daikan are packed with nutrients It seems that if you eat them, you will spend the year in good health and not have to worry about money, so they are popular as lucky charms The messenger of the gods at this Hie Shrine is a monkey 🐵 It is called the divine monkey (Masaru), and is believed to be the god of victory (Masaru) and evil spirits (Masaru), and people visit to pray for good luck and protection from evil #Tokyo sightseeing #Temples and shrines
