What makes it special
About Horikawa Ebisu Shrine
- Visit during the Toka Ebisu period (January 9th–11th) to experience the peak of Osaka's festive energy and the traditional atmosphere of people praying for business success.
- Don't miss the Fukuzasa (lucky bamboo); it is a must-have charm for prosperity and a central part of the festival experience.
- Enjoy a night visit to see the beautiful scenery created by the glowing lanterns, which adds a magical touch to the ritual.
- Use public transportation. The area becomes extremely crowded during the festival, and there are traffic restrictions, so taking the train is the smoothest way to travel.
