Year-End Fudo and Amulet Burning Fire Ritual (Osame Fudo Saito Daigomaku)

About this event

On December 28, 2026, the Osame Fudo, Osamefuda Otakiage Saito Daigomaku will be held at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. This event is a Saito Daigomaku ritual held in the Okuyama Hiroba grounds to burn and offer talisman cards and amulets that protected worshippers over the past year. Conducted outdoors following the rituals of Shugendo mountain asceticism, Gomagi prayer sticks and wood inscribed with personal wishes are cast into rising flames. In addition, an inner altar prayer practice where believers can personally cast wood into the furnace is conducted. Naritasan Shinshoji is one of Japan's most visited Fudoson temples for New Year's first shrine visits (Hatsumode), and the grounds are already bustling with New Year preparations around this time. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes on foot from JR Narita Station or Keisei Narita Station via the approach street lined with souvenir shops and restaurants. It is an impressive event where visitors can also enjoy walking along the approach street.
