Asakusa Pilgrimage

Shichifukujin, or the Seven Lucky Gods of Fortune, is a revered collective of deities celebrated in the vibrant district of Asakusa, Tokyo. Each deity embodies distinct virtues and blessings, such as prosperity, happiness, and longevity from Shintoism, Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism.

The Asakusa pilgrimage is usually done in the first one to two weeks of the new year. But this can be done anytime throughout the year! I must warn you about the crowds…

This route is perfect for:

those who like to walk and explore the chill residential side of Asakusa
collect goshuin stamps
complete a “quest” while learning about Japanese culture and religion
enjoy my secret hidden sakura spot away from the chaos

Collect all 9 stamps and take home a unique and powerful souvenir!

Leave the best for last in the center spot. This is the god who will answer your prayers!

Congratulations on making it this far!

We took our time enjoying what every temple/shrine has to offer… and the hanami picnic was so nice… that we ran out of time! Time flies when you are having fun.

I will leave the last two spots (Sensoji Temple and Asakusa Shrine) for them to cross the finish line together.

A very special customized souvenir to take home with lots of power from the 7 Lucky Gods.

Praying for love, happiness and health to this newlywed.
