Kawasaki Daishi Walking Tour and Kanayama Shrine

Explore Kawasaki Daishi Temple with me! We will walk through typical shops to the main temple, where I will guide you through purification rituals, prayers and the discovery of your fortune with the omikuji. An authentic experience! After that, we will move on foot to Kanayama Shrine, where a phallic symbol as a deity is venerated. This sanctuary is said to bring benefits for the prosperity of the offspring, marital harmony and protection from sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, the festival held every year on the first Sunday of April is known worldwide as "Kanamara Matsuri" (Festival of the iron phallus).
