七五三 (Children’s Blessing for 3, 5, and 7 year olds) reservation information for 2024

September 5, 2024

Happy Shichigosan!

The Shichigosan season has arrived again this year at Shinto Shrine of Shusse Inari in America!
We have a Shichigosan prayer package with kimono and photo session.

Reservations are now being accepted!

Shichigosan prayer ceremony

Shichigosan is a day to visit a Shinto Shrine to show your gratitude for the growth of your children and pray for their future to Kami-sama. It is not just a “wear a kimono and take pictures” day. Without the Shinto ceremony it would be the same as cosplay. In our tradition, Shichigosan is a day to visit a Shinto shrine with a feeling of gratitude and celebration.

Let’s properly convey Japanese traditional culture to the next generation!
