Shichifukujin-meguri (Tour of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune) in Hakone

The second place I arrived was Hakone-jinja Shrine where I wish to say grace to the god of Ebisu.

Hakone-jinja Shrine is one of the largest shrines within Hakone area.
The precinct of the shrine was very large, it was difficult to find where the Ebusu god located….

As I thought I finally found it, ！but it turned out that…

To my disappointment…. the god of Ebusu was closed for the day.
The god of Ebisu is believed to bring prosperity to the business…it was to bad that I could not pay my tribute to him.

I cheered myself up by asking the Miko (shrine maiden) to stamp the second patern of my stamp rally tour.

Due to heavy snow and bad traffic conditions, I stopped my tour here for today.
