Finally
Hatsu-uma Festival is held at Inari shrines across Japan to pray for thriving business and abundant harvests. Actually, it was also held at Nishinomiya Shrine on February 6〜. During the annual festival, there is apparently a custom of offering aburaage and inari sushi, favorite foods of the foxes said to be messengers of the Inari deity, as a way of giving thanks to foxes for catching mice that damage grain🦊 This is the Hatsu-uma Festival at Fukuo Shrine, a sub-shrine of Ebisu Grand Shrine. If you couldn’t make it on the 6th, why not stop by?〜😊
