Nishinomiya Shrine
西宮神社Hyogo · Kansai
Nishinomiya Shrine is the head shrine of the Ebisu shrine network, standing in the city of Nishinomiya on the coastal strip between Osaka and Kobe. Ebisu, enshrined here, is the deity of good fortune and commerce, and the grounds hold a long earthen outer wall, a red main gate and a small display room on Ebisu belief. It is best known for the Toka Ebisu rites in January, when a footrace to the main hall picks the year's fuku-otoko.
