Now & New
Ebessan Coming Around Again This November 18th-20th!!
It’s about to be that time of year again! Ebessan–the Hiroshimarian festival dedicated to Ebisu–has been held every single year since 1603 (yes, even in 1945 when the city was wiped off the map), and this year, it will occur from November 18th to the 20th as usual. The streets surrounding Ebisu Shrine just east of Hondori will for sure be jam-packed with stands selling food, cartoon character masks, et cetera. If you’re in town on any of those three days, offer up a prayer to Ebisu, get yourself some snacks, and maybe scoop up some pet goldfish to take home!
