Irugi Shrine
A neighbourhood shrine near Osaki Station. Learn about Onegai Usagi wishing rabbits and ema plaques, and distinguish 24-hour worship access from daytime counter hours.
Access from Osaki Station
Irugi Shrine is at 3-8-20 Osaki. Its official registered guide gives a three-minute walk from JR Osaki Station’s North Gate West Exit, or five minutes from Tokyu Osakihirokoji Station. Plan it as an Osaki destination rather than a shrine immediately outside Gotanda Station.
Worship and counter hours
The shrine’s official registered listing on MyJinja distinguishes 24-hour worship access from counter hours of 09:00–17:00. Visit in the daytime for amulets or ema plaques. Prayer-service reception is listed as 09:00–16:15. Being able to worship late does not mean the counter is open.
How to offer a wishing rabbit
Onegai Usagi is a rabbit-shaped shrine item in which to place a wish. The official instructions are to name the rabbit, insert a wish written on paper, pray before the main sanctuary and then place it on the designated stand. The official items page lists an offering of 1,200 yen; follow the information displayed on site.
Leave a wish on an ema
An ema is a small wooden plaque on which a wish is written and hung. The official page presents several ema designs and amulet-shaped ema-mamori, including types listed at 800 yen each. The method depends on the design and purpose, so read the instructions and use the designated rack.
Seasonal memories and current offerings
The 2025 account includes leaving wishes in rabbits and on wooden plaques, and receiving ginkgo nuts. Seasonal sharing should not be expected as a permanent service. Check the availability of particular shrine items and their offerings when visiting; old photographs do not establish current availability.
