About this event
Held every year on January 9 and 10 at Nishinomiya Shrine, a precinct subordinate shrine of Hieda Shrine in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, the "Yoida Toka Ebisu Festival" is a traditional New Year event to pray for business prosperity, family safety, and economic recovery. Enshrining Ebisu-sama (Ebessan), who holds a sea bream under his left arm and a fishing rod in his right hand, he is widely revered not only as the guardian deity of fishing, but also as a god who bestows virtue and fortune and brings commercial prosperity. Over the two days—Yoiebisu on the 9th and Honebisu on the 10th—many worshipers visit in search of good fortune, praying for the safety of business and daily life at the start of the new year. Admission is free, and the Hidaka Kannabe Tourism Association serves as the contact for inquiries.
