The dates for this particular pilgrimage are January 1st to January 15th, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

This pilgrimage is also known as the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Deities Pilgrimage. This particular route actually has eight shrines and no temples. There are two for Ebisu and Benzaiten also shows up twice, once sharing a shrine with Fukurokuju.

Walking Distance: Approximately 3.3 km.

The specific route is up to you, there is no specific sequence you have to follow. This page is just a quick list of the pilgrimage locations. For this reason I may also include links in the entries below to more information on the locations.
