Today we were in Central Osaka (Namba area) to see the Ebisu Festival. Ebisu is the god of business, and people go to the shrine to return last years branches and to get new branches for financial luck over the next year.
This festival definitely wasn’t as big as the New Years gathering at Sumiyoshi Taisha, but it was a good opportunity to see a procession and also enjoy the delicious food stalls again!
