Ebisuko is an important festival in Kiryu, Gunma. As many as 200,000 people come to Nishinomiya Shrine during this festival to make an offering to the Ebisu and pray for good luck in the coming year. We give a brief history of Ebisu, explain about the “Kumade Rake” and “Direction of Luck” and walk around the festival showing the activities and all those street vendors as many as 700 come to this festival.
Our videos are hopefully easy to understand because we make it for our friends in Japan and all around the world. We hope you join us through the streets of Kiryu for their important festival of Ebisuko. We hope you like and subscribe. AND ALWAYS THANK YOU FOR WATCHING. #kiryu #japanesestreetfood #japanesefestival
