#The breathtaking sight of 400,000 red spider lilies
In China, the red spider lily is known as shisuan. In Japan, it is called higanbana (equinox flower) because the flowers and leaves never meet. It is said that red spider lilies in Japan were brought over from China in ancient times. They are also known as manjusaka, derived from the "flower of heaven" in Buddhism. Many ancient Chinese poets wrote poems about these flowers, most of which relate to life, death, and parting, giving the red spider lily a mysterious and sorrowful aura. [Untitled] Tang Dynasty: Anonymous The red spider lily blooms on the other shore, By the River of Oblivion, one also forgets. At the Bridge of Helplessness, one feels helpless in vain, Writing of three lifetimes on the Stone of Three Lifetimes. In late September, you can see the striking, blood-red spider lilies blooming along the roadsides. There are 2 popular spots to view them around Tokyo. 1. Kinchakuda in Saitama Prefecture (400,000 flowers) 2. Fuchu City, Tokyo (400,000 flowers) On my day off, I visited the Fuchu City Kyodo no Mori Museum. The museum grounds are very large, with a vast array of plants and flowers planted outdoors. After walking for a while, I arrived at some traditional buildings. Many red spider lilies were in full bloom around the Western-style buildings, featuring both vibrant red and pale yellow varieties. Visitors were busy taking out their cameras or phones to capture the beautiful scenery before them. The Plum Garden is the best area to view the red spider lilies. Large patches of the flowers under the plum trees look like a red carpet, creating a striking visual impact. Visitors wandered along the paths through the flower beds, looking for various angles to view and photograph their favorite scenes. Everything before my eyes made me marvel at the existence of such beautiful scenery in the world. Such beauty makes one forget that sorrow, leaving only a sense of warmth. 🌹Viewing period: Mid-September – early October (varies slightly with temperature) 🕙Opening hours: Open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM 🗓️Closed: Every Monday (open on public holidays) 💰Admission ticket: Adults ¥300, elementary and junior high school students ¥150 📫Address: 6-32 Minamicho, Fuchu City, Tokyo 🚃Transportation: Take the JR Nambu Line to Fuchu-Hommachi Station and walk for 19 mins, or take a bus 🚘Parking: Free parking available for 400 vehicles
From the Craftsmanship Hub of Fuchu to Okayama City.
After leaving Hiroshima City, my first stop was Matsuba Factory in Fuchu, Hiroshima. It's a friend's workshop where they craft wooden iPhone cases. AirPods Pro Cases I visited Matsuba Factory during my last trip around Japan, and when I told them I'd be passing through again, they kindly invited me back. Mr. Matsuba is currently working on AirPods Pro cases through a crowdfunding campaign. The photo shows a case being carved—the precision milling ensures a perfect fit. Sachi We heard there was a popular local spot for "Fuchu-yaki," a regional specialty, so the two of us went to check it out. I had Fuchu-yaki on my last trip too, but this time we tried a different shop called "Sachi." Reserved Portions Being Grilled The place was fully booked! Since they prioritize phone reservations over walk-ins, we made sure to call ahead. When we walked in, a bunch of okonomiyaki—ours included—were already sizzling on the grill. Fuchu-yaki A simple Fuchu-yaki. It's served on a plate here and comes pre-sliced. The defining feature of Fuchu-yaki is the use of ground meat. The noodles are grilled until they're incredibly crispy, giving it a light, crunchy texture. It almost feels like a snack! Sachi 750 Fuchu-cho, Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture 0847-43-4508 Hours: 11:00–15:00, 16:30–20:00 Closed: Mondays After finishing our Fuchu-yaki, we headed to a nearby cafe. Spingle Move Are you familiar with Spingle Move sneakers? They're "Made in Japan" shoes produced by a manufacturer right here in Fuchu, and this cafe is run by that company with an attached gallery. It’s such a stylish spot for being in the countryside (no offense)! Cafe au Lait The cafe au lait was great, and Amazake Pudding Their original amazake pudding, "Koi no Hajimari" (The Start of Love), was smooth and delicious♪ You get a gentle hint of amazake in the aftertaste. It's not too sweet, which is perfect. Working at the Cafe They let me use their WiFi and power outlets, so I was able to get some solid work done. Thank you!

🍺 This beer tastes even better because I got to try it right at Suntory's home! 🇯🇵
On this trip to Tokyo, I decided to try something different from the usual landmark visits and experience Suntory Tokyo-Musashino Brewery. 🍻 This place showed me a side of Japan that I really love: the meticulous attention to detail in every step of the beer-making process. From selecting ingredients to production and packaging, everything is systematic and reflects the typical Japanese craftsmanship. Walking around the factory was enjoyable and taught me more about beer. It also made me curious about what it would taste like straight from the source. Then came the moment I'd been waiting for ❤️ Tasting Time! 🍺 I got to taste The Premium Malt’s, Suntory’s signature beer, served ice-cold with a fine foam, a wonderful aroma, and a smooth, easy-to-drink flavor. Sipping it after the tour made this beer feel extra special. What I loved most wasn't just the taste, but the feeling of getting a behind-the-scenes look at something so familiar to Japanese people in their daily lives. If you're in Tokyo and have some free time, I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary, especially if you love beer 🍻 or want a new, off-the-beaten-path experience. Perhaps the best memories of a trip aren't the places we check in to… but rather a cold beer, a great atmosphere, and someone we want to share that moment with ❤️🇯🇵 Suntory Tokyo-Musashino Brewery — another Tokyo experience I'd love to revisit! 🍺✨

Vibrant Colors of the Rainy Season: Fuchu Kyodo no Mori Hydrangea Festival.
Heading out to the Hydrangea Festival held at the Kyodo no Mori Museum in Fuchu, Tokyo. Colorful hydrangeas were in full bloom across the park, offering that beautiful, dewy scenery you can only catch during the rainy season✨ One of the unique charms of Kyodo no Mori is seeing blue, purple, and white hydrangeas perfectly framed by traditional landscapes, complete with old folk houses and a watermill📸 Hydrangeas truly shine on rainy days, making it the perfect time for a leisurely stroll while soaking up the quintessential seasonal vibe. 💠 Admire vibrantly colored hydrangeas 🏡 Snap photos of historic buildings paired with flowers 🌿 Take a relaxing walk through the lush, green grounds ☔ Fully embrace the magical rainy season atmosphere This is a highly recommended spot if you're looking to enjoy hydrangeas in Tokyo. Unlike Kamakura and other famous viewing spots, the real draw here is being able to appreciate the blooms alongside historical architecture and tranquil nature✨ 📍 Fuchu City Kyodo no Mori Museum / Fuchu City, Tokyo
A Signature Viewpoint in Tokyo's Tama Area.
Tokyo Metropolitan Sakuragaoka Park Yuhi-no-oka Surrounded by the lush nature of the Tama Hills, "Yuhi-no-oka" (Sunset Hill) in Tokyo Metropolitan Sakuragaoka Park is a signature viewpoint in the Tama area. From the gentle grassy slope, you can take in panoramic views of the Seiseki-Sakuragaoka cityscape, the Tama River, and the Fuchu area. On a clear day, you can even spot the skyscrapers of downtown Tokyo and the Chichibu mountain range in the distance. The best time to visit is during the magic hour around sunset. The breathtaking scenery, where the crimson sunset sky blends seamlessly with the twinkling city lights, is truly mesmerizing. Lounge on the grass and enjoy a relaxing moment, or sit on a bench and quietly take in the ever-changing landscape. We highly recommend arriving just before dusk to fully experience the magical transition as the sky and cityscape shift in color. [Access] From Shinjuku Station, take the Keio Line Limited Express bound for Takaosanguchi or Keio-Hachioji (approx. 28 mins) and get off at Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Station. Transfer to the Keio Bus bound for Nagayama Station (approx. 15 mins). Get off at the Kinenkan-mae bus stop, then walk for about 7 minutes. [Address] 3-chome Renkoji, Tama City, Tokyo 206-0021
What Other Wealth Shrines in Tokyo Are Worth Visiting?
"Besides Koami Shrine, are there any other recommended wealth shrines in Tokyo?" "If I want to pray for wealth, career success, and investment luck, which one should I really visit?" Actually, there's a good reason why Koami Shrine is so popular—it truly is a shrine worth visiting. However, it would be a pity if you thought Koami Shrine was the only wealth shrine in Tokyo. Having lived in Tokyo for over 10 years, I've visited quite a few shrines over time, and I've discovered that there are actually many other wealth shrines that local Japanese people genuinely visit. Some are famous for "Zeniarai" (washing money for good luck), some are particularly great for praying for career advancement and promotions, and quite a few are highly popular shrines frequently visited by politicians and business elites for years. 💰⛩️ Today, I'm going to round up and share some of the Tokyo wealth shrines I've personally visited and genuinely recommend. If my previous post introduced Tokyo's most representative "money-washing shrine," then this one is my ultimate recommendation list for Tokyo's wealth shrines, hoping to help you find the one that suits you best. So, let's get started! ⸻ Stop 1 | Hebikubo Shrine Tokyo's Most Powerful White Snake Wealth Shrine 🐍 📍 Address: 4-4-12 Futaba, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 142-0043 If I could only recommend one more wealth shrine to you today, besides Koami Shrine, the very first one that comes to mind would definitely be Hebikubo Shrine. Located in a residential area in Shinagawa Ward, it doesn't have as many tourists as Asakusa or Nihonbashi, but in Japan, it's a famous wealth spot in many people's hearts, drawing quite a few visitors who make a special trip here every year. Hebikubo Shrine enshrines the White Snake Great Deity (Shirohebi Ookami) and Benzaiten. Since the white snake has always been regarded as a symbol of wealth, good fortune, and luck in Japan, it attracts many people to pray for financial luck and career success. When you come here, you absolutely can't miss the "Shirohebi Shimizu" Zeniarai (money-washing) experience. Washing your bills or coins in the sacred water symbolizes washing away bad luck and getting your financial luck flowing again. Although some might find it a bit mystical, it's exactly this sense of ritual that makes the visit more memorable. Many people will even put the washed bills in their wallets and not spend them, keeping them as their own "lucky money." ⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If it's your first time experiencing Tokyo's Zeniarai culture, I even feel that Hebikubo Shrine offers a more engaging experience than Koami Shrine. Plus, with relatively fewer crowds, it's much more comfortable to visit, making it a great place to take your time snapping photos and soaking in the shrine's atmosphere. ⸻ Stop 2 | Fukutoku Shrine (Mebuki Inari) The Most Famous Wealth Shrine in Tokyo's Financial District 💹 📍 Address: 2-4-14 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103-0022 If your work is related to investments, finance, sales, or entrepreneurship, then I'd definitely recommend visiting Fukutoku Shrine. The shrine is located right next to COREDO Muromachi in Nihonbashi, surrounded by modern high-rises, creating a very interesting contrast. On one side is a bustling commercial street, and on the other is a quiet, solemn shrine. ⛩️ Since the Edo period, Nihonbashi has been a major commercial hub, so Fukutoku Shrine has long been regarded as an important shrine symbolizing wealth, business prosperity, and career luck. Here, you can often see office workers in suits taking advantage of their lunch breaks to come and pray. Some press their hands together in silent prayer, while others quickly head back to their companies after paying their respects. That kind of scene gives me a real sense of everyday Japanese life. Perhaps what everyone is praying for isn't just wealth, but a smooth workday, successfully sealing a deal, or striving for a better opportunity for themselves. ⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're hoping for a promotion, a raise, a successful startup, or if you work in sales or finance, I highly recommend adding Fukutoku Shrine to your itinerary. The prayers here lean more toward "earned wealth" and career development rather than windfall luck. ⸻ Stop 3 | Hie Shrine The Favorite Career Success Shrine Among Tokyo's Politicians and Business Elites ⛩️ 📍 Address: 2-10-5 Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-0014 When it comes to Tokyo's most famous shrines for career luck, Hie Shrine is definitely on the list. Located in Nagatacho, it's right near the National Diet Building, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, and many government agencies, making it a shrine frequently visited by politicians and business leaders for a long time. It was only after living in Tokyo that I gradually came to understand that the Japanese perspective on "financial luck" is actually quite different from what we might imagine. Many Japanese people believe that a good job, a good boss, good connections, and even a crucial opportunity are all part of financial luck. And what Hie Shrine is best at protecting is precisely this kind of fortune. Additionally, Hie Shrine has a very cute feature: its divine messengers aren't the familiar Komainu (lion-dogs), but monkeys. Because the Japanese word for monkey, "saru" (猿), sounds exactly like "saru" (去る), meaning "to leave," it carries the auspicious meaning of "ma ga saru" (evil leaves), hoping that bad luck will depart and good luck will arrive. The monkey amulets (omamori) at the shrine have always been very popular and are among my personal favorites to collect. Whenever friends visit Tokyo, I often recommend they bring one back home. ⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're currently preparing to change jobs, seeking a promotion, starting a business, or hoping for a new breakthrough in your career, I think Hie Shrine is definitely worth a visit. ⸻ Stop 4 | Anahachimangu Shrine Tokyo's Wealth-Attracting Shrine with the Most Ritualistic Feel 🌅 📍 Address: 2-1-11 Nishiwaseda, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-0051 If you visit Tokyo between December and February of the following year, there's a good chance you'll see a long, winding queue outside a shrine. Don't doubt it—that's very likely Anahachimangu Shrine. The most famous thing here is the "Ichiyou Raifuku Omamori," considered by Japanese people to be one of the ultimate representative amulets for attracting wealth. Every year, many people make special trips from other prefectures just to get this one amulet. However, the most unique part is that once you get the amulet, you can't just put it in your wallet or hang it up right away. Instead, according to the shrine's rules, it must be attached to a specific location in your home at a designated date and time. Because of this, many people say it's Tokyo's most "ritualistic" wealth amulet. One evening, I passed by Anahachimangu and saw the queue looping around multiple times—I was genuinely a bit shocked. Later, after asking Japanese friends, I learned that many families have been coming regularly for ten or twenty years. For them, it's long stopped being just about buying an amulet; it's an essential yearly habit they can't do without. ⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're an investor, an entrepreneur, a freelancer, or simply hoping for smoother financial luck in the new year, I highly recommend scheduling a visit here. ⸻ Stop 5 | Shinagawa Shrine One of the Ten Shrines of Tokyo, and a Local Shrine I Really Love 🌿 📍 Address: 3-7-15 Kitashinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 140-0001 When many people think of Shinagawa, the first things that come to mind are the Shinkansen or airport transfers. But actually, tucked away not far from the station is the historic Shinagawa Shrine. It's not just one of the Ten Shrines of Tokyo; it's also a shrine that many Tokyoites visit in their daily lives. The most famous spot in the shrine is the "Ichiryumanbai no Izumi" (Spring of One Grain, Ten Thousand Folds). It symbolizes that a small amount of effort can lead to a massive harvest in the future. Because of this meaning, it attracts many people praying for financial and career luck, hoping their hard work will blossom. Additionally, a complete "Fujizuka" (a miniature Mount Fuji) is preserved here. If you don't have the chance to climb the actual Mount Fuji, you can experience a mini version of the climbing pilgrimage right here. Looking down from the top, the entire shrine and residential area unfold before your eyes. That quiet, peaceful atmosphere is one of the reasons I love Shinagawa Shrine so much. ⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you happen to be staying near Shinagawa, I highly recommend dropping by. With fewer crowds than the popular tourist spots, it offers an extra touch of everyday Tokyo life. ⸻ Stop 6 | Okunitama Shrine One of Tokyoites' Favorite Power Spots 🌳 📍 Address: 3-1 Miyamachi, Fuchu, Tokyo 183-0023 If you want to experience a large shrine that local Tokyoites truly visit, I highly recommend taking a trip to Okunitama Shrine. Located in Fuchu City, it boasts a history of over 1,900 years and was the principal shrine of the former Musashi Province, holding a very important status in Tokyo's shrine community. Its main enshrined deity has deep ties with Okuninushi-no-Kami of Izumo Taisha, so it has long been a place of worship for wealth, business prosperity, good luck, and good matchmaking. Compared to those popular shrines in the city center, there are far fewer foreign tourists here. Instead, you're much more likely to see Japanese families, seniors, and even nearby residents taking leisurely walks and praying. I personally really love it here, not just because the shrine is beautiful, but more so because every time I visit, I can feel a very calming atmosphere. No rushing, no crowds—just taking a quiet stroll leaves you feeling so much better. ⭐ Personal Recommendation Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you enjoy in-depth travel or want to see a side of Tokyo different from the popular tourist areas, I highly recommend planning a half-day trip to Fuchu. Okunitama Shrine is absolutely worth it. ⸻ 🏆 My Recommended Ranking for Tokyo's Wealth Shrines If it's your first time in Tokyo: 🥇 Hebikubo Shrine 🥈 Koami Shrine 🥉 Fukutoku Shrine ⸻ If you're an office worker: 🥇 Hie Shrine 🥈 Fukutoku Shrine 🥉 Koami Shrine ⸻ If you want to pray for career luck: 🥇 Hie Shrine 🥈 Fukutoku Shrine 🥉 Okunitama Shrine ⸻ If you want to plan a one-day wealth shrine pilgrimage: I highly recommend this route: Hebikubo Shrine ⬇️ Shinagawa Shrine ⬇️ Fukutoku Shrine ⬇️ Koami Shrine It can be perfectly completed in one day, and it's the route I most recommend to friends visiting Tokyo for the first time. ⸻ Actually, having lived in Tokyo for over 10 years, I've seen many people come to shrines to pray for wealth, as well as for jobs, promotions, and career success. I slowly realized something. What truly changes a person's life has never been the amulets or the talismans. It's that moment when you stand in the shrine, close your eyes to make a wish, and you start seriously thinking about what you truly want to pursue, willing to try hard for that goal once again. I think this might be the most charming part of a shrine. What it brings us isn't necessarily the wealth itself, but the courage to start fresh and the strength to believe that the future will get better and better. If you come to Tokyo next time, don't just schedule one shrine. Why not slow down, visit a few different shrines, and experience their unique histories, cultures, and atmospheres? Perhaps the greatest harvest you'll bring home won't be financial luck, but a beautiful travel memory. ⸻ ❤️ Finally, I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has read all the way to this point. From the earlier posts on "The Difference Between Shrines and Temples" and "How to Choose an Amulet," to "Koami Shrine," and now today's roundup of Tokyo's wealth shrines, the shrine series is coming to a close for now. I'm so happy that so many people were willing to read, leave comments, and share, and thank you all for accompanying me along the way to learn about Japan's shrine culture together. I hope this series doesn't just let you know which shrines are famous and which amulets are popular, but more importantly, I hope that when you come to Japan, you can bring a bit more understanding, a bit more respect, and create a few more of your own travel stories. Moving forward, I will continue to share more about everyday life in Tokyo, independent travel guides, food, seasonal spots, and some little hidden gems that you only slowly discover by living here. If you also enjoy this kind of sharing, feel free to follow my fan page, save this article, and share it with friends and family who are planning a trip to Tokyo.
Where to Watch the 2026 World Cup | Fuchu: "Sports Pub 'Fuchu 44'" Next to Okunitama Shrine — Pre-match Stroll Around the Shrine Grounds & Sculpture Walk in Fuchu-no-Mori Park.
Okunitama Shrine is the head shrine of the Kanto region. The approach is lined with ancient cedars, leading to the imposing Zuishinmon gate. Take a walk around the grounds to explore the layout of the auxiliary and subordinate shrines—a rare sight in Japan where "one shrine houses the spirits of six provinces." Afterward, head over to the neighboring Fuchu-no-Mori Park to enjoy modern sculptures and expansive lawns. Finally, make your way to Fuchu 44. The walls are decorated with autographs of J-League players from Fuchu, and the blackboard menu features the draft beer of the day. It's just a 6-minute walk from the South Exit of JR Fuchu Station. If you're interested in JRA horse racing, you can easily add a trip to the Fuchu Racecourse (just 1 stop away). I highly recommend Fuchu because standing on the steps of the Musashi Province head shrine makes you realize, "This land has witnessed a thousand years of festivals." Stepping down to watch the World Cup feels like participating in a modern-day festival. Watching a match in this historic inland city on the Kanto Plain adds a profound sense of history to the experience.

What people are saying about Fuchu
Sanrio Puroland(Tokyo)
I went on Saturday, and it was quite crowded. Once inside, you had to scan a QR code to get a photo opportunity with the characters, and that was only available for the afternoon. The boat parade pass was also only available for single people. It's an indoor amusement park, so there aren't many attractions. There are shows to watch, and you can eat various character-themed foods, which are very cute. There are also shops, Ichiban Kuji (a type of prize), claw machines, gashapon (capsule toys), etc.
栗子月饼Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo
That’s an incredible place to visit, do not hesitate if you are a HP fan!! The prices are much more affordable than anywhere else in the world for a such kind of place. I would recommend to have a friend and fully dress up for the photos!

Easy and convenient, can select preferred time slot. The place is good for tourist and people can chill and take a time to view tokyo/shibuya street from above
Anonymous userShibuya
Despite the fact that there are always a lot of people , I love this street ! It has this unique atmosphere.
A_lionnaTokyo amusement park:YOMIURILAND
I'd heard it was crowded before, thinking it wouldn't be too bad, but I went on a Wednesday, and it was incredibly packed! The big rides had queues of 30 minutes to an hour, almost as long as Disneyland. The rides themselves were quite fun, but unfortunately, the instant noodle rafting was under maintenance that day. From the moment the park opened in the morning to taking the cable car and then entering the park, there were queues everywhere – it was exhausting. If you want to come, choose a different time of year, like outside of summer, as there are just too many students.
天天追逐马奇达Ghibli Museum
Visiting the **Ghibli Museum** was a truly magical experience. It showcases the artistry behind animation, highlighting how Ghibli, a pioneer in the field, created beautiful films without modern computers. Seeing the meticulous process of hand-drawing and painting each frame was awe-inspiring.The museum's architecture and interior perfectly capture the whimsical and mysterious essence of the Ghibli world. While photography isn't allowed, this enhances the experience, urging fans to immerse themselves fully in the magic of the exhibits.Each entry ticket resembles a film strip from the animations, making it a beautiful keepsake of the visit. It’s no surprise that the Ghibli Museum remains a favorite among locals and tourists, with tickets often being hard to come by. Overall, my visit was unforgettable and a must-see for any Ghibli fan!

So much fun with the family at Tokyo Tower! We loved the great views and good vibes. ❤️🗼
Pang Siew ChongShinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Upon arrival, I was struck by the simple and unpretentious environment, but after settling in, I discovered its subtle charm. There was no deliberate attempt at luxury; the plain walls were warmed by the sunlight, and the colorful paintings at the corners shimmered with soft hues, like a corner of the evening glow captured in the room. The floors were made of old wood, making no harsh sounds underfoot. The staff spoke softly, and even the tea served was lukewarm. Without any unnecessary noise, sitting in a chair by the window and daydreaming, time seemed to slow down. It felt as if I had stepped into a secluded mountain retreat from an ancient painting, my heart gradually calming down, and I almost forgot my return date.
