We start the Daikokuten ceremony at 1:00pm on the 7th.
Priests pray to Daikokuten for your fulfillments.
Anyone can join for free, so please come to our temple.
[About Naijin-mairi]
During memorial services, we set aside time for visiting the inner sanctuary.
The inner sanctuary is a sacred place where the goma altar and principal image are placed.
Normally, worshippers are not allowed to enter, but during memorial services you may enter the sanctuary and pray in front of Daikokuten.
You will be called out when the time comes, so please follow the instructions. (You cannot enter the inner sanctuary freely.)

The scholar of Japanese classics, Masuho Zankō, argued that the Seven Lucky Gods should consist solely of Japanese deities.
He promoted gods appearing in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, such as Sarutahiko Ōkami, but this did not gain popularity among the general public.
