Ōme Shichifukujin Meguri / Ōme Seven Lucky Deities Pilgrimage (青梅市 七福神 めぐり)

This pilgrimage can be done Year-round depending if the temple or shrine office is open 8:00-16:00. For this pilgrimage you can get any of several designs of a paper print to be stamped, figurines of each of the deities with a stand, or a large ema with images to be stamped at each location. This is a relatively new pilgrimage founded in 1980.
