During the November Tori-no-Ichi festival, locals follow a tradition of buying kumade (bamboo rakes) first, then walking through food stalls while holding them to 'rake in good fortune' as they go.

The shrine is dedicated to Yamato Takeru, a legendary prince-warrior from Japanese mythology known for his military conquests across ancient Japan.

Though small in size, this shrine hosts one of the most bustling Tori-no-Ichi markets in southern Tokyo, with companies arriving before 11am to purchase large decorative rakes for business prosperity.

The shrine was called 'Washinomiya' (Eagle Shrine) during the Edo period, though its exact founding date remains unknown to this day.
