The temple is really grand. It's not too crowded on regular days, and strolling through the shopping street nearby is super relaxing.

There's a goma prayer ritual held in the main hall to remove worries and bad luck, and to receive protection from Kawasaki Daishi. The ceremony takes about 20 minutes and you don't need a reservation—just show up at the right time.

This temple is always bustling with worshippers. After visiting, you can check out the nearby shopping street.

Not only are the prayers here said to be very effective for safety and peace, but the shopping street is also lively and bustling.

Whenever work wasn't going well during my time in Japan, I would visit Heikenji Temple to pray for good luck. I think that's why Kawasaki Daishi is always so busy with worshippers—it really feels like it works.

I've worked in Japan for three years, and every year I visit Kawasaki Daishi several times. I always feel like I get good luck after each visit. 😁

Inside Kawasaki Daishi, there's a shrine dedicated to a goddess known for beautiful, youthful skin. It's super popular among women! You can buy a cute skin-beauty charm here—the design and colors are really adorable and appealing.

It's one of the top three temples for New Year's visits in the Kanto area, but usually it's not crowded at all. Compared to Sensoji, it feels a lot less lively.

Kawasaki Daishi is one of the most popular temples in Japan for New Year's visits. The rhythmic sound of candy being cut at the shops along the approach is really fun. My favorite treat is the traditional 'Kuzumochi.' The fragrant soybean flour and brown sugar syrup are both delicious.

Besides praying here, it's also a great spot to relax. There are shopping streets and parks nearby, making it perfect for a family stroll.
