A Thousand Days of Worship – Hozuki Fair

At Atago Shrine’s annual festival, stepping through a ring of reeds in a figure-eight movement is said to bring 1,000 days of luck. During this time, the shrine also harvests the native Chinese lantern plants that grow on the grounds. The plant’s ripe berries are said to protect children from diseases and eczema, so visitors tend to eat them just for good measure. If you feel like your luck is starting to run dry, this is your chance to get a booster shot.
