Details
The Hattatsu-san Shrine is dedicated to business prosperity and family safety. The practice, known as Shissho Hattatsu, involves visiting the shrine on the first day of the month that falls on the Day of the Dragon (Tatsu no Hi). It is believed that praying on this specific day provides greater protection and assistance. Completing 48 visits over a four-year cycle signifies a period of safety and progress, representing continuous growth and development. Many people travel from distant locations to seek the prosperity of their businesses. The shrine is very crowded, especially in the early morning, as large numbers of worshippers gather to offer their prayers.
