About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Tokyo, Hundred Grass Eight-Horizontal Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to the worship of Fūjin, the god of wind and storms, and Bishamon, the god of wealth and prosperity. The shrine's unique name reflects its association with the 'hundred grasses,' or the 100th day after New Year's Day, which is considered an auspicious time for new beginnings.

Cultural Significance

As a Shinto temple, the shrine is deeply connected to local folklore and mythology. The worship of Fūjin and Bishamon reflects the importance of wind and prosperity in Japanese culture. During the annual 'Omisoka' New Year's Eve ceremony, visitors pray for good luck and prosperity throughout the coming year.
