However, there are several places where there is some action and this shrine is one of them. Oji Inari Jinja is the head Inari shrine of the eight provinces of the Kanto region (greater Tokyo area). On New Year&#8217;s Eve, foxes, who are considered to be the guardians and messengers of the god Inari, gather here from all over the Kanto region. There is an annual Oji Fox Parade on New Year&#8217;s Eve to honor the foxes that gather here on this night. Everyone dresses up, and it is said to be quite the affair. I haven&#8217;t actually been there on New Year&#8217;s Eve myself.<\/p>\n<p>I have been in the Tokyo area on two New Year&#8217;s Eves. For the first (in 1988) I went to Kawasaki Daishi (\u5ddd\u5d0e\u5927\u5e2b). For the second (in 2009) we celebrated the new year at <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/2009\/12\/happy-new-year-%E3%81%82%E3%81%91%E3%81%BE%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%8A%E3%82%81%E3%81%A7%E3%81%A8%E3%81%86%E3%81%94%E3%81%96%E3%81%84%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99\/>Zojoji (\u5897\u4e0a\u5bfa)<\/a>. I would recommend either of those places as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are in Tokyo for New Year&#8217;s Eve you may find the festivities to be rather tame as most people stay home and watch TV.
