Tsuki Shrine

The rabbit shrine

Tsuki Shrine is a pretty famous shrine within Saitama Prefecture. One of the reasons is because it has rabbit Komainu (Komainu are usually lion dogs). The shrine is always popular for 'hatsumode', first prayers of the year, but particularly in the year of the rabbit. Right now is 7-5-3 season so they have a couple of festival stalls at the shrine, but they weren't operating today. One was a choco banana stall. You can pick up rabbit shapped amulets here as well as amulets and prayer votives with rabbit designs on them. Amulets cost 500 yen.
